De Lancre

found it a little difficult to configure.

It’s okay, dev apparently think it’s hard too, otherwise I have no clue why da fuck he would change configuration scheme 3 focking times

But it’s a scrolling wm…

But It’s a scrolling wm!

Niri is amazing:

• Overview just feels right to manage windows, hyprland for example lacks that feature and due other issues even existing plugins can’t be used anymore (hyprland dev borked support)
• Scrolling desktops is a weird concept, but surprisingly works well. Had to move back to hyprland after half a year on Niri and I just can’t get used to it. What do you mean space on my desktop is limited?
• It have all bells and whistles that hyprland have, like custom animations, blur (was recently added after a lot of users cried a lot), you can even write own shaders for windows opening\closing

But: Still in development, some features broken or not exists. Blur for example was added in hurry, so visual bugs with it is common. HDR is not supported. Another thing that actually forced me to switch - bit depth control is not supported (patch for that was proposed half a year ago and only recently was merged, so it should be in new release), cause of that my monitor always tries to set 16bit color space, which is obviosly imposible thru hdmi and with my TV, so after booting up niri I always have black screen (or not, sometimes it reverts to defaults which is 8 bit and for HDR\to use my monitor you ideally need 10, so it’s a mess). And there some additional small things, like no way to trigger something on desktop\window switch, small things like that, which usually do exist in tailing managers.

But beyond that, it’s awesome and I hope dev continue. It milions time better than hyprland just because they haven’t changed damn config scheme 3 time in a focking row.

Well, of course it won’t work as a router — it’s a teapot.
