    Any recommendations for a Hyprland refugee? Thinking of trying out niri

      After this news I switched to using KDE with Karousel, an animation plugin, and a rounded corners plugin (kwin scripts).

      I also use a command runner plasmoid to somewhat replicate waybar from shell scripts.

        river is great. It’s far more stable than any other wayland compositor I’ve used.

          Hyprland has special workspaces, plugins which became part of my worksapace. I don’t think river can replace it. i3 has features like these but i couldn’t find anything similar in river.

      I like niri, but I’ll be damned if I can get any kind of stability out of it. I’ll have myself a flawless time at home testing, but as soon as my laptop enters University Grounds it stops launching apps, or crashes, or whatever else.

      Right now I’m using Gnome/PaperWM since Infinite horizontal has changed my workflow so dramatically, and Gnome is more stable for me.
