On my #Niri powered #Debian setup I have `super+d` configured to open #Fuzzel. So this new extra key might end up being either a convenient addition, or an annoying one.
It's only been in this past year that I've started using the back/forward buttons I've had on the Logitech mouse too. Generally speaking I really don't need/want additional buttons on my mouse. I just can't really get used to them I suppose.

OK, so I decided I like #niri but trying to keep things as lean as my #sway setup, so using #rofi as a launcher for the moment. Need to move all my key bindings over (I wish there was a standard for that) and probably do some customization to push battery status to rofi or add another key binding to pop it up in a notification.

I’ve figured it out!
options "grp:shifts_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch,lv5:caps_switch,nbsp:level3,misc:typo"
lv3:ralt_switch, misc:typo and nbsp:level3 give me a typographic keyboard. And lv5:caps_switch just gives me another button that I use as a keyboard app launcher (ISO_Level5_Shift+F → Firefox).
Sure, I can't make the tap, hold and double-tap do different things, but now I don't need #kanata (no offense).

So instead of that massive #Linux thingy, I'm trying out something I found called "SweetPotatOS". It's an #Arch based distro running a WM called Swirl, which is forked from Scroll which was forked from #Sway. It's inspired by #Niri.
The Owlbear likes Arch, Sweet Potatoes, and Niri. So it seems worth a SHOT.
(I need to proofread before posting...)

After a (very) long time with hyprland, 0.55 broke the camel's back.

The tiling desktop experience of #Niri has me wondering if I can do the same thing on my Macbook Air. I feel like it would make my laptop experience a lot better.

A fun difference that I've discovered between #Bazzite and #CachyOS is that CachyOS can wake my computer from sleep if I tap a key on the keyboard. Bazzite required me to hit the actual power button the computer case.
It also feels snappier than Bazzite. I haven't really gamed on it yet, just a bit, but it felt similar to Bazzite. I'm just really enjoying the desktop experience. I went with #Noctalia and #Niri.

Today niri became 3 years old! 🎉️ :blobcat:
I merged the Smithay upgrade which brought a bunch of fixes and tablet grabs: https://mastodon.online/@YaLTeR/117061055221948130
And I also implemented and merged animations for windows moving between workspaces!
This was probably the last *major* missing animation. It's been in the backlog for so long because it's tricky with regards to Z ordering (moving windows need to be on top of everything), clipping, and needs sync between three different animations.

J'ai profité des vacances pour réinstaller mon PC pro sous #nixos à la place de Manjaro que j'utilisais depuis plus de 4 ans.
C'est le changement de distrib qui m'a pris le plus de temps c'est 30 dernières années (sauf peut-être avec Gentoo le temps de compilation était lent à l'époque ).
Bon, j'ai voulu faire ça proprement avec home-manager et ce n'est pas encore parfait.
J'ai passé du temps avec la conf de greetd pour #niri, mais surtout avec #nixvim car j'ai revu totalement ma conf neovim. -
Now that I'm back from traveling for the time being, I decided to sit down and finish the Smithay upgrade in niri. Here's the result of 4 hours of streaming today: window moving and resizing, as well as the overview gestures, now work with a tablet, thanks to the new tablet tool grabs!

I love #gnome, its #libadwaita app ecosystem. But I also love #scrolling #tiling à la #niri. For now, #paperwm works well, but I wonder what the future of window management in GNOME will look like. 🤔
Mosaic isn't going to cut it for me. 🫣

Void Files punta tutto su velocità, semplicità e un design moderno per Wayland e Niri. Ecco cosa offre questo nuovo file manager. #Linux #Wayland #Niri #ArchLinux #OpenSource https://www.linuxeasy.org/void-files-il-file-manager-minimale-che-punta-su-velocita-e-design-per-wayland/

Mrrrow i just ran into an issue with niri that i haven't figured out how to fix yet. I wanted to watch a stream while playing minecraft, and i don't have a second monitor. So i was using the firefox picture-in-picture thingy to watch it while i was playing. But it keeps sorta stealing mouse focus away from minecraft whenever my invisible cursor goes over the floating window :neofox_sob: Does anyone know how i can fix that?

@linuxteck Don't really understand the fuss about #cosmic here.
Sure, it's cool stuff and rapid development, but there is a TON of #wlroots based compositors that can tile like #niri, #mangowc etc.
Sure, cosmic has a more complete suite, but it is no way as deep and comprehensive as #gnome or #kde.
Aside of #popOS users, I'm not sure who it is for.

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) :

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? ;)
