niri is pretty cool
========================================

so, i decided to install niri, following this tutorial on my fedora plasma laptop. it was quite a bit of a pain to do because there aren't official fedora packages for several of the pre-reqs, but ended up with a nice-looking and -feeling result that somehow bricked my plasma install, so now i'm committed, which is fine, honestly. i like it much more than plasma. noctalia shell is easily the nicest status bar i've ever used. and niri is quite simple to configure.
i like it quite a bit. highly recommended if you're looking for a nice lightweight window manager that stays the fuck out of your way and doesn't completely shit itself if you make a bad change to the config.
