The release of the composite server Niri 25.05 has been published, implementing the tiling layout method in the style of the GNOME extension PaperWM, which groups windows into an endlessly scrollable ribbon on the screen. Opening a new window expands the ribbon, while previously added windows do not change their size. The project is based on the use of the Wayland protocol, but also allows launching X11 applications using the Xwayland DDX server. The project's code is written in Rust and is distributed under the GPLv3 license. Packages are built for Fedora, NixOS, Arch Linux, and FreeBSD. <\/p>\n

A fundamental difference between Niri and PaperWM is the binding of its own window ribbon for each monitor, which does not overlap with ribbons on other monitors (in PaperWM, separate monitor handling cannot be implemented due to the binding to global window coordinates in GNOME Shell). Niri supports HiDPI and can operate on systems with multiple GPUs (for example, hybrid systems with a discrete graphics card and an integrated GPU). It features a built-in interface for taking screenshots and recording screencasts, with the ability to exclude specific windows that contain confidential information from the recording. <\/p>\n

Virtual desktops in Niri are created dynamically and are arranged vertically, similar to GNOME (the window strip rotates horizontally while the desktop strip is vertical). Each monitor can display an independent set. virtual desktops<\/a>. To switch between desktops and windows, control gestures on the touchpad can be used. When a monitor is disconnected, the layout of virtual desktops is remembered and transferred to the remaining monitor, and when the monitor returns, it is restored to its original state. Configuration is done through a configuration file, allowing changes to parameters such as frame width, padding, output modes, and window sizes. Changes made to the configuration file are applied automatically without restarting the compositing server.
