Granted, Niri is super lightweight and lacks A TON of features you'd expect from Plasma or GNOME. But it's still a DE, no? Edit: Well, reading up a bit, it does seem like it's 'just' a window manager, not a full fledged DE. Fair enough. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children) 😊 And I think in Wayland... land, they don't really call it a window manager either, since it has to do more than just manage the windows, i.e. handle all the drawing to surfaces and stuff as well. Wayland WMs are rather called compositors. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) interesting, thanks! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago My pleasure! permalink fedilink source parent [–] muhyb@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago Maybe s/he's from future and it's DE there. permalink fedilink source parent
