- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

I couldn't have picked better timing to switch to niri if I tried.
Same. love niri though. I think Iβm going to keep it
Niri gang represent!
There are dozens of us. I've been using niri for almost a year now and I think I would be lost if I switched to anything else.
I don't love the way niri handles workspaces across multiple monitors so far but my problems with it are also minor enough that I'm pretty sure I can fix it myself with a script or IPC program if it really starts to bother me
tiktok window manager rise!
Yup. Been on Niri for a couple of months and it works very well and is super stable.
Niri seems to have a vision whereas Hyprland folks just seem to push as many features and changes as they can with little consideration.
I used hyprland on my laptop for about a year and the thing that bothered me the most (aside from the toxic community) was how often I had to rewrite chunks of it after every major update. I'm definitely glad that the niri devs are treating its config stability more seriously.
I switched to niri recently, I think it's the best tiling window manager I've ever used
