Hi! I make niri, a scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri

I mainly post on Mastodon: https://mastodon.online/@YaLTeR
Today I'm releasing niri v25.11 with long-awaited config includes, Alt-Tab, true maximize, custom modes, and a bunch of other improvements! Enjoy the release notes :)

We also have new quick start guides: yalter.github.io/niri/Getting...

i have this old ASUS Eee PC collecting dust, decided to try if niri will run on it. well, it actually runs! a few shaders failed compiling (ran into ALU instruction limits), but otherwise seems to work

A secret niri v25.02 feature! Make your floating windows FLOAT by putting this in your config:

window-rule {
match is-floating=true
baba-is-float true
}

Works in the nix flake too :)

[[honestly wtf how did so much stuff happen, it's been barely over a month]]
