Adding Sway setup and configuration as a 3rd option for tiling WM in Linutil

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Can you also add SwayWM setup script in Linutil as additional option? I tried installing and setting up Sway myself, but it almost never worked. I followed Jay LaCroix from Learn Linux TV setup video and blog and i still wasn't able to do a proper setup for sway. It wouldnt let me create any config files in directory for Sway, Waybar or Wofi. When I copied a random dotfile for Github and edited it still didn't work. I tested this on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Describe the solution you'd like

Similar to DWM and now Hyperland that Chris is currently working on could you also add SwayWM as a option as well. Since everything is slowly moving to Wayland it would be good to have more options. Compare to X there are limited options, but Sway looks like it would be easier to install and setup then Hyperland at least.

Some basic setup stuff would be sudo apt install light sway swaybg swayidle swayimg swaylock waybar wofi lxappereance

Describe alternatives you've considered

A Sway setup with Chris's DWM script and themed with Nordic, but optimized for Wayland or Xwayland

Additional context

This is where I tried to setup sway first and it didn't work don't know what I'm doing wrong
