From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The COPR package didn't work for me on Nobara, so I had to build from source, but it works great. There are a couple of things I don't like, but overall seems pretty neat.
If I can get Xwayland to work nicely for steam with high refresh rates, then it seems like this might be the WM for me until COSMIC-DE comes out.
I love it!
I am still using PaperWM but I'd def rebase to it as soon as someone created an ublue image for it
I don't want to miss scrollable wms
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The newest Wayland compositor on the scene with its first stable release is Niri, a scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor inspired by the PaperWM GNOME Shell extesnsion.
The Niris v0.1 Wayland compositor positions all windows into an infinite horizontal strip that scrolls left and right.
Niri v0.1 supports multiple monitors, mixed GPU systems, HiDPI displays, dynamic workspaces, screencasting support via the GNOME XDG Desktop portal, live-reloading configuration system, a configurable layout, and other features that are off to a good start for this compositor.
Here are some screenshots of Niri v0.1 in action provided by this open-source project:
Niri v0.1 is available in source form as well as packages via community repositories for Fedora COPR, NixOS Flake, Arch Linux AUR package, and also a FreeBSD port.
Downloads and more details on the Niri v0.1 release via GitHub.

Wouldn’t vertical scrolling make more sense?
Pretty much everything we do already scrolls vertically primarily, its more “natural” at this point.
Isn't it the opposite then? Since your windows will have vertical scrolls, it makes sense to tile them horizontally in order to maximize vertical space for each window, imo.
Man there is a night and day difference between the comments here and on phoronix, what is their problem?

Looks nice. Is anyone able to tell if I'm going to screw up my KDE install if I try it out? I've never tried WM / compositors on KDE that weren't targeting KDE before.
It should be fine I think. On Linux you can have multiple Desktop Environments installed (ex KDE Plasma & Gnome as well.)
I tried Hyprland a few months ago like this. I had Plasma installed then installed hyprland as well. During login with SDDM you can select which DE to launch.
Edit: On github it says you should install it alone to make sure. I dont know then, maybe it works? I am still new to Linux as well.
