@hexaheximal oooo! Interesting... I've been fighting #Sway with #NVIDIA for half my damn week so maybe this is a better place to be placing my focus... idk if I am willing to give up tiling in favour of scrolling though, but I guess I won't know til I try!

@pospi While I still primarily use GNOME, I used to use Sway as a secondary desktop before now switching to niri. I think niri is a *far* smoother and visually appealing compositor, although it scales windows up by default which really annoys me.
@hexaheximal gotta hand it to you, it's been a long time since I wanted to try something enough to compile it myself.
FWIW the dependency hell on #Ubuntu / #PopOS 22.04 only went as deep as: #Niri -> libinput; the rest was up-to-date enough to come straight from Synaptic.
@pospi alpine linux actually already has it packaged, but on my main laptop I used cargo deb to install it.
however, doing so wasn't even really that difficult. most of it was reading build errors and installing missing dependencies, but that only took a few minutes.
