r/niri

Whenever I open up Nautilus after start, or after inactivity for a long period of time, It take somewhere between 5-7 seconds to actually start, is there a way to fix this issue?

I know it's a stupid question, but it does seem pretty cool if you ask me.

Because of company politics I have been forced to use RHEL instead of Fedora. Does anyone know if there is an out of the box solution to running niri with the extra stuff you kinda need if you want to use a WM like fuzzel? Yalter has an EPEL version of niri in their copr, but once you want to use fuzzel, waybar, swaybg, swayidle, swaylock, and so on, it becomes a huge PITA.

Electron apps are showing the electron icon when they appear in top bar or dock while running instead of their own icon. In app launcher they show correct icon when searched. How can i fix this?

Hi everyone! i recently posted about not being able to use NetBeans IDE on Niri because it displayed a blank screen. Well, by randomly clicking i found out that the buttons were working, and the pop up menus did appear correctly. I managed to get into the settings and enabled window decorations - This fixed it.

However, i noticed that the window has blurry, slightly deformed text on the entire UI, and the editing tap in particular, has text that seems to render exceptionally worse.

Tiled

Zoomed in, there's still rough edges

The UI scales perfectly if i either run the program full screen, or as a floating window. The editing tab still looks a bit janky, like without any antialiasing/hinting whatsoever.

I can still make use of the program now - after clicking around at a blank screen, i can now see the UI and use the window floating, occupying a full tile space (Super+F) in its individual workspace. Sadly this prevents me from being able to move between windows on this workspace without NetBeans overlapping, or i should have them all floating which is not ideal.

I'm aware that this is not a Wayland native application. I have `xwayland-satallite` installed on my system. If anyone knows a workaround for this, i'd be glad to hear about it.

NOTE: Everywhere else, the screen renders everything perfectly, text is crystal clear, even more so than it was in GNOME somehow. I was actually impressed by how crisp it looks, which i think is what made me realize the drop of quality in this program lol.

Hi everyone. I installed Niri with DMS and configured it, everything works and behaves fine for the most part, except for one program: Apache NetBeans 29.

Ive tried reinstalling it, I tried reinstalling it again but deleting all config or leftover files first, and I can't seem to know how to fix it.

When I launch the program from a GNOME session, it displays the UI correctly and the shortcuts work. On Niri its not that it doesn't display right, if I try to open or create a new project it just won't open anything.

I have no window rules set for NetBeans. Im not sure what could be the issue here.

Maybe it's just me not being clear or maybe it's common here on linux and im just new to the Linux space but it seems yall afraid of criticisms or mentioning there's a good feature on other wms

A bunch of the comments disregard my post and my comments and just joining on the hate train, mfs don't even criticized my suggestions and just hatin, my post is not even a feature request and mfs acting like im ruining their setup

The last time I used niri subreddit is been helpful with my problems and stuff, but now it became more toxic and uncomfortable

Niri is cool and all, light on system and smooth, but after testing hyprland or mangowc, niri isn't enough for me, at least for now:

• No rounding_power for rounded corners (idk it makes apps look premium lol)
• No horizontal workspace alternative workflow (I use horizontal bar)
• No blur (yet)

I think they should implement alternative workflow, horizontal workspace workflow should make sense because you use super key and keyboard numbers which is horizontal too

my current hyprland setup:

what do you guys think?

Title. I've been wanting HDR for a while

I installed CachyOS and Niri for the first time on my main desktop and when I boot up I have no display. However if I blindly type in my session password and press enter, Niri launches and it displays on my screens.

If I plug one of my monitors on the motherboard, then I can see SDDM just fine on that specific screen.

My graphics card is an Nvidia 2070 if you are wondering.

PS : It is not GDM but SDDM.

Hi, i recently install cachy os with noctalia and so far so good but i'm searching for a solution to my question:

Is there any niri configuration or workaround that would allow a Wine application (Hearthstone deck tracker) to render a transparent overlay on top of another window?

I'm guessing this is a Wayland compositing issue, since my wine application creates borderless transparent windows

thanks in advance for the help!

I switched from hyprland to niri over the weekend and I absolutely love the paradigm for windows management that niri has.

One problem I have is my desktop machine's main monitor is very tall and i find it impossible to use the top 33% so I normally have some dashboards and glance-able information up there. I couldnt figure out how to get this to work correctly in niri.

So I prototyped a qt webview that allows me to load up some web apps and it reserves the top 33% for me. It follows me around desktops and is exactly what i needed. This is very rough and mostly vibe coded with claude.

Is there a niri native way to do this? I looked at the docs over the weekend and I dont think it is possible and maybe this is a unique problem I have with this monitor.
