$ groups
xavier666 root
Sorry what? As what user are you executing all these ‘groups’ commands? Unless Ubuntu does things significantly differently from Arch and Debian, there’s something very fishy going on here. The “normal” user should not be in the root group, and root should not be in the normal user’s group.
Have you done other things beside the “fix” you mentioned?
That “fix” from your op, btw, looks totally valid to me.
You’re going to have to look at how that process works on Ubuntu and how it differes from Xorg session start.
gdm probably looks inside /usr/share/wayland-sessions and finds sway.desktop and uses it to launch Sway.
FWIW, these are all text files. Look at them.
Sorry, I have to go now. More tonight, if you want.
This likely has nothing to do with sway but with the way the sway session is started, as opposed to the i3 session.
We need more info on this.
Isn’t i3 Xorg only, and sway wayland only? That would mean the whole graphical server has also changed.

What is the purpose, what are you trying to update?
What is in the image file? Can it be mounted?
Also please do not confuse SteamOS with ArchLinux, for your own sake.
My mouse is steelseries and there’s a simple Linux utility to change the color of the LED (black switches it off).
And it’s a really good mouse.
Pulseaudio, pipewire, jack, even alsa all have equalisers.
chatwheel
If it emits some signal the OS recognizes it’s possible to bind that to some action, hack a script.
It also includes a mixer for managing multiple audio sources.
Isn’t that just a normal part of the/any operating system?
Have you considered SailfishOS?
Personally I recommend getting a Sony Xperia and installing it yourself.
SFOS has been my daily driver for 5 years now.
I paid €49 for the license, so it’s a bargain right now at 24.90, and my latest device, an xperia x10ii, cost just €60.
Linux phone
What do you use? Is it your daily driver?
I use SailfishOS on a Sony Xperia. 50€ for the SFOS license, 60€ for the phone.
I definitely have lost at least one install to getting stuck in vim, flailing the keyboard and writing garbage data into a critical config file before rebooting.

Even that could be tricky; these weren’t bootable/installable images.
edit: admittedly, I have no personal experience but some years back we tried to help someone install Yggdrasil (in a VM iirc) and did not succeed.
I have a separate encrypted partition that I can mount/decrypt/unmount with my filemanager (or something like pmount) by clicking on those little arrows. Much nicer than whatever on-top-of-the-filesystem solution I used previously. It happens to be on a microSDcard that just sits in its slot forever.
OK. Does it get to BIOS? Have you opened a dedicated thread for fixing this?
Technically, if you had tons of time and a solid understanding of Linux inside and out, you might be able to pull it off, but it’s not worth the hassle at all.
This is what I thought. Preferably “from the outside” i.e. while the system isn’t running. But all you “saved” in the end is the filesystem the original OS was installed on, and possibly personal data (which probably is the reason OP is even asking).
Theoretically yes, practically no.
+1 for openSUSE btw.
And how did you use to start i3?
