Fair enough. I wasn’t aware you actually had that problem yourself, i thought you just looked it up to prove a point lol. I do think it’s a weird decision that niri doesn’t just have xwayland built-in. Even river has native xwayland support, which is much more focused on minimalism. I haven’t used niri all that much because so far haven’t really been able to get used to scrolling. I think i still prefer dynamic tilers with a layout system. I should probably try booting up a game in niri to see if i can replicate it.
honestly i kinda get their reasoning… it’s extra jank, extra complexity and a maintenance burden that shouldn’t be necessary if apps stopped dragging their feet about proper wayland support. niri instead focuses on the rest of the experience and honestly? they’re doing a pretty great job because it’s super fuckin comfy to use and customize, at least for me.
