of course I could have RTFM’d but it’s really weird that it doesn’t set DRM itself. so if you think you’ll get any kind of sensible default on first boot … well. nope you get nothing not even TTYs to fix it
Is this relevant when using a login manager?
my experience was with sddm
Niri is so so good
How does it compare to hyprland in it’s current state regarding stability, features and support?
Overall I would say it is more stable and less features than Hyprland. And recently it has Waybar modules so you can have a complete status bar. Personally would prefer Niri over Hyprland on a laptop if I do not plan on connecting monitors. The issue I had is that there are too many actions available to move windows including across monitors and setting simple keybinds for all of those becomes a problem. It just did not work for me as I use two monitors.
Exactly! I am glad to see I am not the only one with this issue.
I have 2 monitors and the “flow” (if I can use that term) of moving the windows around was painful; I never got used to it.
I finally went back to River, I am a simple man…
I’m on River too, but I still wish one could move windows across monitors just like in Sway and Hyprland. I’m referring to the fallback window movement when it reaches the end of a monitor and there is an available monitor in that direction so it sends the window to said available monitor. I think it makes for a low cognitive effort workflow.
Not at all, aside that it tiles.
