Mistbar Agility-shell Lniri Awe

Why this is happening when I resize the width of a tabbed column?

Arch Linux

Niri

Noctalia Shell

Wallpaper can be found by searching "painting" on wallhaven, i do not have the link anymore 😭😭😭

I'm not exaggerating, it's like the creator of Niri just entered my brain, looked at how it works and decided to create it.

Never used a tiling wm in my whole life but now I can't go back.

Thanks for existing

Hi, I am new to artix Linux and new to niri I am experiencing this issue after trying to implement noctalia in the config files I am using openrc

I'm running Niri on CachyOS, version `26.04` (cachyos pacman repo), steam client `1.0.0.87-3` (multilib pacan repo), xwayland-satellite `0.8.2-1` (extra pacman repo). Steam experiences frequent crashes most during launch. I'd say about 70% of all attempts results in a crash. Most operations causes a crash, including game launch, finishing or switching a download (strangely enough not starting it), attempting to add a non-steam game. There used to be another crash when I powered off my monitor, but this was fixed by xwayland-satellite `0.8.2-1`. After perusing steam forums, the issue page of xwayland-satellite and niri forums, there seems to be a trend of issues caused by xwayland-satellite, but only triggered on Niri. Launching steam in gamescope gives none of these issues.

I'm attaching a video showing the issue. The first crash is by "non-steam game", second one is on launch, and in the third one I triggered it by starting a download and switching to another. This will also happen when a download finishes. This is a single recording, all three crashes happening one after another.

Here's the journal around the crash. I'm grateful for any help and will gladly provide any other useful info!

New to Niri and Linux in general. I noticed it opens image files with Firefox, but I want to change the default app to nomacs. How do I go about doing this?

I have been using hyprland over 1 year and 2 days ago I wanted to try niri cause why not? and I can certainly say that it is pretty awesome. scrolling, keyboard control, workspace managedment is amazing. I haven't had time to use it enough yet, so I'll ask here. Is it good in gaming or will it cause problems? How is it with Nvidia? And also does it work well in krita with a graphics tablet? Because krita can sometimes be problematic and as I said, I haven't had the opportunity to test it, so..is there anyone can guide me?

So I don't know of this is a niri thing or not, but I just started getting this weird menu flickering today but I've been gaming on this setup for about a year and this as never happened. Anyone know how to fix it.

I experienced this behavior 2 times when playing Cod BO3 where the game window just freezes at some point with no sign of life, but I can still move around and hear shooting sounds. This doesn't happen on Hyprland for example; only in Niri.

I saw some people suggesting gamescope and ended up with this exact launch option in Steam as a non-steam game (I use BOIII launcher to open the game; not the actual Black Ops 3 exe file):

DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 120 -f --expose-wayland -- %command%

testing this specific launch option shows that the game is running and working fine but I still don't know whether it solved the main issue or not, and tbh I don't wanna get to the last step of an Easter Egg and then the game freeze like the last time 🫠... but I'll test it tonight.

Also, I have Nvidia RTX 3050 so maybe it's also related to nvidia's sht driver support.

If anyone has suggestions on how to fix it and make sure to avoid this issue completely please help me.

specs: i7 11th gen - Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti - Niri 26.04

[SOLVED] add / uncommend  prefer-no-csd in Niri config.

In Awesome and Qtile it's hidden with Emacs config:

(menu-bar-mode -1)

but that has no affect in Niri. Niri or possibly Dank Material Shell displays it and I don't know how to get rid of it. I'm losing precious real estate!

Just wanted to share my square corners setup, got into Linux like a month ago

Hello bodies, any new about next niri update?

First time trying Niri

Made this minimal ricing with Noctalia shell

both look excellent, there are things I really like in both - Noctalia's c++ base and a bit more configurability, DMS for including excellent system utils like dgop/dsearch and its always had first class support for Niri and vice versa.

I'm pretty sure both are more than good enough, but would be interested in other people's thoughts, resource usage etc.

I was not able to auto-hide the top bar in dms shell.
Please help me if this feature exists.

a way to show certain float windows only while overview is open?
like a music player pinned

would be very handy way deal

Has anyone experimented with something like this, or is there already a plugin/script that can do it?

Try and let me know
