+Sway requires additional setup for privilege escalation. Without this setup,
+sway will fail to start with session activation permission failures. Choose one
+of the two available options (In alphabetical, not recommended, order):
+
+1. polkit: This will make sway "just work" right after installation but may be
+           a weightier solution than desired.
+
+2. seatd: Already required as a sway dependency, this is a lighter-weight
+          solution but requires some user configuration: Enabling the service,
+          adding your user to the "seat" group, then logging out/in again.
+
+Either option should provide the same functionality/stability. Refer to the
+Sway wiki page for information.
