From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debian base with Sway.
What do you do for a volume icon/volume control?
For volume control, I use Wireplumber:
For icon I have configured the swaybar. I don't use notifications, thus they're simple to set for bindsym (above) if needed.
Thanks! By configure the sway bar, do you mean that it has a way to display the volume? I couldn't find that last time I tried to get things configured and ended up just going back to i3
I have 4 icons displaying the current amount of volume with white background and for mute I use red background. It was super easy to set in the config file even I don't speak C++.
