  • Niri is amazing:

    • Overview just feels right to manage windows, hyprland for example lacks that feature and due other issues even existing plugins can’t be used anymore (hyprland dev borked support)
    • Scrolling desktops is a weird concept, but surprisingly works well. Had to move back to hyprland after half a year on Niri and I just can’t get used to it. What do you mean space on my desktop is limited?
    • It have all bells and whistles that hyprland have, like custom animations, blur (was recently added after a lot of users cried a lot), you can even write own shaders for windows opening\closing

    But: Still in development, some features broken or not exists. Blur for example was added in hurry, so visual bugs with it is common. HDR is not supported. Another thing that actually forced me to switch - bit depth control is not supported (patch for that was proposed half a year ago and only recently was merged, so it should be in new release), cause of that my monitor always tries to set 16bit color space, which is obviosly imposible thru hdmi and with my TV, so after booting up niri I always have black screen (or not, sometimes it reverts to defaults which is 8 bit and for HDR\to use my monitor you ideally need 10, so it’s a mess). And there some additional small things, like no way to trigger something on desktop\window switch, small things like that, which usually do exist in tailing managers.

    But beyond that, it’s awesome and I hope dev continue. It milions time better than hyprland just because they haven’t changed damn config scheme 3 time in a focking row.


  • Same, toyed with it for creating stupid things like bot for telegram, that basically was a 3rd-person NSFW storyteller in RP chat. Sadly, after I made said bot I remember that I don’t have friends to RP with.

    That being said, ollama+openwebui kinda sucks: openwebui have “wider scope” and features that you don’t need like auth via social providers and managing multiple accounts, while ollama itself does the opposite and lacks certain features (like proper mmap support to load big models), slow in comparison to pure llama.cpp and generally easily replaceable with lm studio, that provides both - client and server. So yeah, my advise for anyone who want to try it localy - just use lm manager.
