It is autumn, I sit in the cozy warmth of my apartment and I read about Niri on HN. This is it!, I shout. The holy grail of window management! Finally!.
In this blog I will describe my journey to set up Niri on my Linux laptop. I do so to enhance my understanding via Socratic questioning and Feynman techique Questions:
- What is a Window Manager (WM)?
- What flavors of WMs are there?
- What is Niri?
- What makes Niri special?
- What alternatives are there to Niri?
- What is Wayland?
- How does the Wayland ecosystem look?
- What is Quickshell?
