This probably only requires a modification to the Sway configuration.

When using a gaming handheld or laptop, it may be convenient to plug in an external monitor or TV. This needs to not break the one activity at a time requirement.

On first boot, we should detect which display is the primary.

When a secondary display is connected, by default we should mirror the primary display. The HUD should also have an icon toggle that will disable the primary display and use the secondary's native resolution.
