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.
