RE: https://mastodon.social/@nekohayo/117021078780460968
For desktop #Linux fans out there who think that #GNOME has sped up implementing a composited blur API via the new #Wayland "ext-background-effect-v1" protocol just because #KDE, #Cosmic and #Niri have implemented the protocol, as if it's somehow a competition 😉

Risolto il problemino di KeepassXC non funzionante con Niri.
Mancava il Qt Platform Plugin.Magari a qualcuno serve, specialmente se volete provare Niri (che consiglio molto se volete provare un tiling desktop)
La soluzione è spiegata qui (non solo per Arch e derivate, anche per Ubuntu e Fedora) :

Ok, ho installato Niri sul mio fido X270 con un a configurazione base (quella di default quando lo si installa su CachyOS).
Al netto che la mia memoria dovrà assorbire alcune scorciatoie... Che bomba ! Funziona benissimo, facile da configurare, davvero ben studiato. E il tiling a scorrimento ? Perfetto per display piccoli come quelli di un portatile. Si lavora benissimo scorrendo fra le finestre, senza ammattire !
Ci sono alcune app (tipo keepass) che tendono ad aver noie con alcune cose, ma per il resto è un missile. Sto cercando soluzioni ma per ora mi sono perso nei dotfiles ! Divertentissimo.

Installare Niri su Fedora, bel tutorial, un pò lungo ma molto esaustivo.

How can a desktop environment like GNOME be so popular when, honestly, nobody would use it without extensions? Every day there are new extensions for window management, making the desktop look nicer... The problem is that extensions sometimes mess with each other (for keyboard shortcuts for example) and break after every GNOME update. Thank goodness Niri and DMS exist if you want a lightweight and actually functional desktop.
Really hope that Fedora 45 will come with an official Niri and DMS spin. -

Most of the changes are hard to show. For example, since you can do “focus-column-or-monitor-left” and “move-column-left-or-to-monitor-left,” I drastically reduced the number of #niri keybindings to what I think I will actually use. I kept the logic of “Mod+” for navigation, “Mod+Ctrl+” for movement.
I also didn’t want to cover a great wallpaper: https://www.mattvince.com/product/zelda-x-ghibli-desktop-wallpaper/ There’s more! It asks for an email, but you know about “10 minute email,” right? ;)

Continuo a esplorare tiling desktop e sto guardando Niri, che mi pare carino !!

Me:
* Spend like half an hour setting up my keyboard shortcuts on #MangoWC and #Noctalia on my Odyssey Linux install on my laptop
* Realize that I've configured it to work exactly like my #Niri setup on my Desktop
* Think about how every time I install #Plasma desktop, I immediately tweak the settings so that it works as close to #Gnome default as possible
* Wonder why I bother trying new things.
Also Me:
* Oooo! The dev behind #vanilla_os has made a new DE! I should immediately check it out!

I might be a magpiebear instead of an owlbear.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@YaLTeR/116664232747424065
Looks like all of these found their new owners! Via both in-person meets and post. Guess I'll need to order another minibatch?

At least let me write something… As always, questions are welcome.
So, #niri. Why a window manager (compositor) instead of a desktop environment? It seems like the next logical step in choosing everything I want. I’m not going to rant about everything that’s happening in here this our neck of the software woods, but that’s feels like the only reason left to choose Linux over anything else.
And niri makes much more sense to me than tiling wm’s.

Jetzt arbeite ich seit etwas über einem Tag mit Niri und Dank Material Shell und ich bin begeistert! Ich habe schon immer die Maus nur notwendigerweise benutzt und eher mit der Tastatur gearbeitet. Mit Niri und DMS ist das richtig gut! Endlich ein Tiling Manager der es wirklich auch richtig macht, intuitiv ist und dabei auch noch echt gut aussieht! Und vor allem auch mit meinem 3-Monitor Setup keinerlei Probleme hat!

Okay... CachyOS zusammen mit Niri und Dank Material Shell.... wie geil ist das denn bitte???

my laptop starts regreet (w/ cage as compositor) right after booting, which then logs me into a #niri session (executing `niri-session`, which eventually runs niri via systemd iiuc). after logging in there's a black screen, what looks like a lot of env vars dumped into tty. this takes ~10s, and it's just lots of text that scrolls by too fast for me too read. only after several seconds like this do i get a graphical session. when i used `gdm` instead of regreet / #greetd, i didn't see this and niri started way more quickly. any idea what i'm seeing there, and what `gdm` did that my current setup doesn't? #linux

#Niri & #DMS: Ein schöner, #minimalistischer #Linux-Desktop
Niri und Dank Material Shell, kurz DMS, sind eine tolle Kombination. Bei mir läuft der scrollende Tiling Wayland Compositor mit der hübschen Desktop-Shell schon seit einiger Zeit – und darf definitiv bleiben.

For reasons, I’ve been neglecting to write about what I’ve been doing. I’ll catch up at some point, at least with the more interesting parts. But, ignoring the “why, ” let me at least explain the “what” (you can play detective and figure out the hardware).
Unsurprisingly, this is #VoidLinux with #niri, #waybar, #mako for notifications, and #fuzzel for the app launcher. Besides browsers and graphics editors, I only have a couple of GUI programs installed.

Version 1.5 von #DankMaterialShell gibts erfreulicherweise auch schon in #Manjaro Testing. Leider fehlt auch hier der neue #DankCalendar. Den müsste ich über das #AUR installieren. #dms #linux #niri

Why does #niri do this fade-out and fade-in when windows get resized, but animate the borders? Why not actually animate resizing the contents too (i.e.: re-render the window in all the intermediate sizes)?
It just seems to weird that the content fades out and back in again during resizes.

I made a short #paperwm #video for all the #gnome users out there who'd like to try #niri but don't quite have the time or confidence to make the switch.
I'd say PaperWM is about as good as it gets when it comes to scrolling, tiling window management on GNOME.

I've been following the development of a new #DesktopEnvironment, and I gotta say…
Why is it.that as soon as someone makes something that's different, people swoop in and say "You have to add this feature so it works like #Gnome / #Plasma /Whateverthefuck"?
Like… let's take the Minimize button. Useful in Windows, but far from the only way to deal with setting stuff aside. #Niri handles it with Workspaces and Columns. Gnome (by default) handles it with Overview and Workspaces plus limited snapping. I like that about Gnome and Niri (with #Noctalia or #Dank added in, Niri's my favorite).
DEs work without minimize buttons. If someone's designing a #DE without it, and you need it, maybe you're not the target audience. Maybe it's designed for Owlbears.
And that's just one example. I dunno. It's obviously not a big deal and everyone's entitled to their opinion. It's just weird to me to insist that a DE needs something it was obviously designed to work without.

On my way from #gnome to #niri, I've installed #paperwm, and I'm totally in love! 😍
I had to strip its settings down to bare #scrolling window management, but other than that, I have no complaints.
When I have some time, I'll install #niri and explore what I'd be missing by leaving GNOME behind. I still intend to use the GNOME default and circle (etc.) apps, though—I just like them too much. ☺️

Scrollable Tiling auf Wayland! 📜 #niri
Ein in Rust geschriebener Wayland-Compositor: Fenster liegen auf einem unendlichen horizontalen Band statt im Gitter. Das bringt eine neue Dimension von Flexibilität und Kreativität in eure Desktop-Umgebung. Niri ermöglicht es, eure Fensteranordnung optimal zu steuern. Werft einen Blick in die Readme, um mehr über die Funktionen zu erfahren!

TIL: there’s a thing named #DankLinux, which is “a complete desktop shell for #niri, #Hyprland, #MangoWC, #Sway, #labwc, #Scroll, #MiracleWM, and other #Wayland compositors”. This might be a quick and easy way to get all the little details working out of the box, and to get a consistent look’n’feel as a bonus.
(EDIT: oh, and it’s based on #QuickShell.)
