Niri: A Scrollable-Tiling Wayland Compositor
Niri is a scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor, designed to provide an efficient and unique window management experience on modern Linux systems.
Project Introduction
Summary
Niri is an experimental Wayland compositor implementing a novel scrollable-tiling layout, aiming to provide a fluid and manageable experience for users who typically have many windows open simultaneously.
Problem Solved
Traditional tiling window managers can become overwhelming when a large number of windows are open, leading to cramped layouts or the need for complex workspace management. Niri's scrollable design solves this by providing a continuous workspace.
Core Features
Scrollable Tiling Layout
Unlike traditional tiling window managers, Niri allows you to scroll through your workspace when you have many windows open, preventing clutter.
Wayland Native
Built on the Wayland protocol, Niri offers modern graphics rendering and security benefits over older X11 systems.
Based on wlroots
Leverages the wlroots library, providing a stable and robust foundation for the compositor.
Tech Stack
使用场景
Niri's scrollable tiling layout is particularly beneficial in scenarios where managing many windows efficiently is crucial.
