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

#niri is pretty incredible
I've been using it all day and I'm really vibing with it.
today's progress: wheel scrolling up and down, right click to scroll left and right, click on workspace to focus, some keyboard fixes
this is all mouse-only on the video. only currently using a 3rd-party tool for the hot corner (waycorner), i'll integrate that later
@jakehamilton I basically want the opposite of this for #niri
I want my 2x 1080p monitors to form one canvas because the auto tiling/scrolling just works so well
started working on an Overview for niri. very wip, lots to do, got some basic rendering and dragging working though
Spent some time getting #Niri to work on my computer... Liking it a lot so far.
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
A new window manager enters the ring! #niri #nwgshell https://fosstodon.org/@nwgpiotr/114260200894123878
Fully functional (though still under development) #Niri taskbar module for nwg-panel. By the way: nwg-drawer works well either.
Confessions of a hardcore tiler, a blog post wherein I critique a critique of tiling window managers, and try to explain how I use mine, and why I find that so very convenient.
Not surprisingly, it's from the perspective of a #niri enthusiast.
There will be a followup next week or so: I'll interview my wife about her use of a tiling window manager too.
Very first screenshot of working #Niri taskbar module for nwg-panel (bottom left). Still in early development.
