  1. 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!

  3. 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

  5. #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.

  7. 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.

  10. In der Elternzeit bisher fast nur am Linux-Rechner gesessen. Fühlt sich mit #niri und #nixos gerade alles sehr gut an. Macht mir momentan einfach sehr viel Spaß, mir alles so zu konfigurieren, wie ich es brauche.

  12. Why does 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.

  14. 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.

  16. 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.

  18. 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. ☺️

  20. #Niri :niri: is nice to use, and it's my favorite #Linux WM, but gosh, does it make the whole system unresponsive at times.

  23. 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!

  25. Since I found out about session on the shackles have been lifted off being my daily driver. Now I can finally go wild on my desktop with like . Also wanting to check backwith and . is also a nice addition on how to bride the gap.

  26. RE: fosstodon.org/@governa/1167998

    I tried Niri too. Scrolling is nice, but there were limitations compared to Hyprland. For example, I couldn't use keycodes for binding, making it impossible to use the copilot key on my laptop.
    And now Hyprland has a scrolling layout too.

  27. 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.)

  32. KaOS 2026.06 RC: التوزيعة المستقلة تتخلى عن systemd وتتبنى Dinit و Niri

    أصدرت KaOS الإصدار التجريبي 2026.06 RC، الذي يمثل خطوة جذرية في مسار التوزيعة. تتخلى عن systemd كمدير تهيئة وخدمات، وتستبدله بـ Dinit، مع استبدال KDE Plasma بـ Niri/Noctalia في صورة النظام، واعتماد greetd و Limine، مع...

  33. Getting my desktop set up on an old laptop while I navigate RMAing the SSD from my Framework, I figured I'd give #Noctalia's v5 alpha a go alongside my usual #Niri, since Quickshell might be a bit hard on this slightly more mature hardware. I've gotta say, it's _very_ nice and pretty snappy, even at such an early stage.

  35. #niri is great, because it is scriptable ... You can great your individuell floating toggle.
    I like to have the floating window at the bottom of the screen. The script uses the screensize and calculates the position for different monitors..

  39. A stupid skeuomorphic thing I kinda want but maybe not : an option in #niri to have like a huge wooden background to simulate a closeup wood texture of a huge imaginary desk moving under the windows.

  40. Adding this to my #niri config.kdl finally solved laggy desktop with my weird desktop setup (one 8” inch 1024x768 screen on MiniPC  AMD onboard GPU and three screens on Nvidia 3050 from chinese eGPU box).

    It was perfectly smooth on KDE but lagged when dragging windows
