CachyOS + Niri and Noctalia (Update) (lemmy.nz)

So I ditched KDE completely since my last post. What do you think of my setup so far? I tweaked it a little, including new hotkeys and software.

Environment:

  • CachyOS
  • NiriWM
  • Noctalia (custom themed)

Extra Software (some custom shortcuts made for):

  • Satty (screenshot tool)
  • Swaylock (Customized SDDM)
  • kitty
  • Adguard-cli
  • Picocrypt (CLI)
  • Namida (music player highly recommended for Linux and Android; also works on degoogled phones).

Question: Is it strange to use SDDM with Niri? Some folks switch to another DM.

See the desktop in motion

Edit: added a .gif to show off the desktop better.

Hmm, interesting. I'm going to look into that for when V5 releases; thanks for the information!
