    Honestly, how can there be breaking changes to the config this often. Need to move to niri or mango

    [–] mech@feddit.org 11 points 19 hours ago

    The dev lists as features:

    • Fast and active development
    • Not afraid to provide bleeding-edge features

    And includes a breaking changes tracker:
    https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/8424

    So yeah, use it if you are OK with that.

    I am currently on hyprland, but previously tried to cutover to Niri and I had issues getting steam games to launch consistently. Has Niri gotten a bit easier to use while gaming? I tried maybe 5 months ago and just ended up staying on Hyprland because everything has been working without too many issues.

    I've been daily driving niri on my gaming PC for about as long as you've been away. The only problem I have now and then is games will run in tiled mode, while the game itself is fullscreen, so I'm only seeing the left half of the game. Mod+Shift+F has always fixed it so far, and it's rare enough that I haven't looked into making a window rule. I don't use Steam but I'm not sure that matters.

    Havent done much gaming on it so I wouldn't know, but I hope so. Would probably be a deal breaker

    Using Niri on CachyOS with a RTX50 series GPU (which seems to have the most issues with latest games/drivers). I jump between dozens of games and only had issues with 3 so far:

    • Monster Hunter Wilds (was broken for a couple months earlier in the year, just a driver issue fixed by update)
    • Ghost of Tsushima (again broken by a single driver update -- haven't tried again cause fuck Sony)
    • Enshrouded (single driver update once again, fixed within a week)

    So in my experience, yeah Niri is great for games. Especially having things fake-fullscreen while multitasking, jumping around between browser, Discord, etc

    *Edit Meant to add in contrast, Subnautica 2 launch day went perfectly, as did Windrose... So even new/early access seems absolutely fine.

    I second this, Niri's overview feature is insanely good for multitasking, switching between windows\workspaces is way easier this way. It's like gnome's overview, but better.

    Recently had to move back to hyprland due to bug with bit depth (after half a year, bug fix finally merged, will be in new release afaik) and I'm missing this feature so much. On top of that, most "extensions" that provide same functionality simply either dead or can't compile due to recent changes. Also my old config refused to work, so I had to comment bunch of stuff. It's just a mess.
