Just finished my basic niri install on NixOS. Seriously loving it. Had been wanting to ditch Hyprland for a while, but kept hitting walls with tutorials and blogs trying to convince me to use flakes and home manager. Finally last night I sat down and completely rewrote my config to just be simple default config style and got niri working. Feels like the window manager experience I’ve been dreaming of my whole life.
What issues were you having with hyperland? I’ve been running awesomewm for about a decade and I know my days on x11 are numbered. Hyperland was going to be my next trial.

Not the same person, but the Hyprland developer is… controversial, so that could be the reason.
I’m getting ready to do the same thing - just need a couple hours of extra time to take the plunge!
