Niri + Noctalia on my diehard Lenovo 440S. Colour scheme is Nord. Fun fact, in my install, I don't have a graphical login screen and instead, I boot into CLI, login at CLI, and then call up Niri. Does not affect performance, I can suspend my computer, and I'm not sure if it is a bug, but after a couple of hours of the computer being suspended, it lights up and hibernates itself. I'm not going to try fix it, I think its cool.

To expand on the other reply a bit, niri and sway do just the window management. So if you want things like notifications, media keys, panels, docks, bluetooth/wifi widgets, screenlocking, wallpapers, etc, you need to provide those separately.

Traditionally, those would be separate utilities, but Noctalia provides most of what you'd need in one package. Pretty convenient.
