So I ditched KDE completely since my last post. What do you think of my setup so far? I tweaked it a little, including new hotkeys and software.

Environment:

  • CachyOS
  • NiriWM
  • Noctalia (custom themed)

Extra Software (some custom shortcuts made for):

  • Satty (screenshot tool)
  • Swaylock (Customized SDDM)
  • kitty
  • Adguard-cli
  • Picocrypt (CLI)
  • Namida (music player highly recommended for Linux and Android; also works on degoogled phones).

Question: Is it strange to use SDDM with Niri? Some folks switch to another DM.

See the desktop in motion

Edit: added a .gif to show off the desktop better.

CachyOS + Niri and Noctalia, showing blue, cool colors, custom noctalia bar at the top and a dock at the bottom showing namida (music player) active. The wallpaper is a video of a red R34 in a rainy environment.

Looks great I have a similar setup. I do use hyprland more. Niri is a little weird with floating windows. But other than that I like it.
