Niri: A Scrollable Tiling Wayland Compositor
Niri is a Wayland compositor distinctive for its scrollable tiling interface. Unlike traditional workspaces, windows in Niri are organized into columns along an infinite strip. Each monitor operates with its own independent window strip and features dynamic, vertically arranged workspaces.
Key highlights of Niri include:
* Scrollable Tiling: Its core concept revolves around arranging windows in a continuous, scrollable strip.
* Dynamic Workspaces: Workspaces are created and managed dynamically and are laid out vertically.
* Independent Monitor Management: Each monitor maintains its own set of workspaces and window strips.
* Built-in Features: It offers a built-in screenshot user interface, along with capabilities for monitor and window screencasting.
* Gesture Support: Niri supports touchpad and mouse gestures for navigation and control.
* Customization: Users can configure the layout and even implement custom shaders for animations.
* Live Configuration Reloading: Configuration changes can be applied without needing to restart the compositor.
You can find more details on the Niri GitHub page: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri
