#dankmaterialshell die meisten Maschinen auf noctalia umgestellt.
Allerdings vermisse ich zwei Dinge:
- Desktop Widgets immer im Vordergrund - praktisch wenn man seine Tageszeitung im Vollbild-Modus liest und trotzdem noch die Uhrzeit einblenden kann
- Wetteranzeige ist bei dms viel detaillierter (stündlich). Bei noctalia hat man nur die tägliche Angabe. -

Solving the mystery of niri and swayidle—elogind
Based on the debug output from
swayidle, I started researching what the heckorg.freedesktop.login1.Managerwas doing. When usingsway, this was not used on my non-systemd system, andswayidleworks as expected.With
sway, the way it is working, from a casual user’s perspective:swayidleintercepts for an “idle state” message.swayidleruns the script that I have configured—swaylock-pluginlocks and the background is rotated continually.
Using
nirion my non-systemd system, there does seem to be this extra piece in the mix—logind. Or in my caseelogind.swayidleintercepts aPrepareForSleep signal...

Debug output from swayidle on both sway and niri
I captured debug output from swayidle for a period time when using sway and then when using niri, which helped me understand a bit more of what’s going on. It seems that when running sway, I am getting idle state events at the expected intervals (300s), but when I am running niri, I am getting sleep events at unexpected intervals.
In a screen recording, niri almost immediately sent the sleep within 2 minutes!
The difference seems to be that swayidle is receiving property changes from
org.freedesktop.login1.Managerwhen using niri, but a simple "idle state" when using sway.I think I will start...

Niri bringt frischen Wind auf den #Linux-Desktop: Der Tiling-Wayland-Compositor reiht Fenster wie Perlen auf eine Schnur und lässt schnell horizontal hindurchscrollen. Flinke Tastensteuerung, wenig Ballast und eine optionale Desktop-Shell machen aus Niri eine elegante Desktop-Alternative. Läuft bei mir jetzt seit einigen Wochen und gefällt mir sehr.

мне не хватало возможности разделить экран между программами не пополам, а в какой-то другой пропорции

While I was at the meetup taking notes, I was switched into niri, and yes, while I was typing, multiple times, idle kicked in and my screen including skipping straight to monitor off mode.
So something is definitely fucked up with niri when it comes to idle.

Re: Why does niri stop network connection on idle while sway does not?
Since most of my posts about #niri here have been a bit scattered I thought I would take some time to document what I have setup on Slackware current (non-systemd).
My main problem with niri is that idle is not detected properly as it is with sway, and will kick in while I am typing, in a video call, or seemingly at random. I could live with this, but my network connection is disrupted each time niri launches swayidle unlike sway which does not exhibit this behavior.
Most of the way things are setup to launch is so that screen capture will work.
I don't think any of the configuration accurately...

I really want to love niri window manager, but I just can’t.
I could deal with niri and swayidle not working at all with seemingly randomly locking me when I am in the middle of typing something or on a video conference call if niri would NOT kill my network connection when it’s idle.
I don’t understand why this is even a feature? It does not happen with sway. In sway, when swayidle kicks in, I still have a network connection. But not in niri. Why? Is there a way to get it to not do that? Who knows? The documentation is terrible.
If it did not do that, then I could live with having idle kick in...

Oh quack... I've installed niri on my EndeavourOS desktop and well I don't have EndeavourOS desktop anymore.

@brainblasted I have a branch with quickshell on alpine now. DMS needs some tweaks for min-width but it seems pretty promising. :) #postmarketos #niri

Over the last months I tried to move from gui to cli. Started with shift from #kde plasma to #niri. On Ubuntu 24LTS this was quite problem, first I used #pacstall, but that was better, I changed to #nix package manager, it simply has a the packages, no need to cargo and apt/nala as much. Also I can chair stuff simpler between systems. Nix also enabled me to remove everything but one #distrobox container. As #arch already has #qgis 4

Schwebende Fenster auf dem Desktop sind für mich bisher der Standard gewesen. #CosmicDesktop hat das geändert, jetzt bin ich angefixed und experimentiere mit dem Tiling-Wayland-Compositor #Niri. #linux #linuxdesktop

I just upgraded the system on the recording laptop for #IWP9, which is @archlinux btw, the only convenient distro out there. 🤗
I used the chance to try out #LXQt on #Wayland with #niri. While niri is not my cup of tea, this was a good chance to contribute to the #Arch wiki and document pitfalls with the config file; see the note in the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LXQt#Wayland_Session section.
Kudos to the person on Reddit who replied to someone else wondering why their config file had no effect, albeit validating ok.
