After long 3 months of work, I'm glad to release niri v25.05 with the Overview, screenshot UI tablet and touch support, dynamic screencast target, and lots of other things!

Release notes prepared for your reading pleasure as always: github.com/YaLTeR/niri/...

fastfetch output in Alacritty in niri on an ASUS Eee PC

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

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 :)

#niri #wayland

Wow, looks sick!

Today I'm releasing niri v25.02 with tabs, shadows, DnD view scrolling, and a ton of other improvements! Read the notes at github.com/YaLTeR/niri/... and @ your distro to update the package.

[[honestly wtf how did so much stuff happen, it's been barely over a month]]

#niri #smithay #wayland #rust

I added tabs to niri!

#niri

the ideal osu! window shape

something odd about these windows

After a full day of writing release notes (god how'd it take so long 😩), niri v25.01 is out with Floating Windows and Working Layer-Shell Desktop Icons and so many more improvements! And we finally escaped zerover :)
