One of the motivations for me to switch to swayWM was that my patience×Google+fu×brainpower product was significantly short of the threshold required to get rid of tracker which I never used...

These days, I have to use that resource on getting stuff done that a heavier WM/DE would do automatically (e.g. Bluetooth audio - pointers gratefully received(!)), but at least my weenie laptop isn't constantlyoverheating/chugging/running out of battery (and I'm also a *little* protected from naughty USB dongles)

AFAICT, this is handled by Pulseaudio/Pipewire automatically. There is `blueman-manager` for GUI management of devices, `pavucontrol` for routing audio, and `bluetoothctl` for command line control. Works for me under XMonad (and all the "automatic setup" that such a choice usually implies doesn't happen).
