About a month ago I switched away from using my own dotfiles for #niri in lieu of #dankmaterialshell. It might stem from me wanting to just use my machine instead of having to maintain my machine, but it’s been a very nice experience. The devs are working hard adding a ton of features to make a nice desktop environment, and there’s already a pretty in depth plugin ecosystem for adding more specific features. I’ve been enjoying it!

@inawhilecrocodile Good to know, thank you. I’ve had a pretty stable experience with it for the time I’ve used it, but that’s not to say I won’t ever experience issues. Thankfully I added a little installer script to my old dotfiles, so in the worst case I can get up and running with those again in a few minutes.
