feat(niri): add Niri as a full desktop environment option
Adds Niri (scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor) as a first-class DE
alongside HyprLua, Hyprland, and Sway.
Config (desktopenvs/niri/):
- niri/config.kdl: full KDL config — input (de/caps:swapescape/
left-handed), CyberQueer focus-ring colours, spring animations,
environment vars, autostart, window rules, 100+ keybindings
translated from binds.lua
- Shared configs (kitty, dunst, wofi, btop, walker, vicinae, etc.)
symlinked from hyprlua to stay in sync
- EWW bar: three variants (PC/notebook/touch) with niri-native workspace
widget driven by a niri msg event-stream listener script
- greetd-tuigreet: launches niri instead of Hyprland
Scripts adapted for niri IPC / niri toolchain:
- ewwstart.sh / togglebar.sh: niri msg outputs instead of hyprctl
- monitorhandler.sh: swaybg replaces hyprpaper
- caffeine.sh: swayidle replaces hypridle
- activewindow: niri msg -j focused-window
- unified-rotate.sh: niri msg action set-output-transform
- wallpaper-picker: swaybg-based rewrite
- windowswitcher: niri msg -j windows + wofi
- workspace: event-stream listener for eww literal widget
- drawer.sh / menu.sh: swaylock + niri msg action quit for power actions
- niri-toggle-touchpad.sh: xinput fallback (no niri IPC for touchpad)
- toggle-layout.sh: stub (niri has one scrollable layout)
Installer & integration:
- setup/modules/Desktop-Environments/niri.sh: full installer with
niri-appropriate packages (swaybg, swaylock, swayidle, xfce-polkit,
gammastep, nwg-drawer, xdg-desktop-portal-gnome; no nwg-dock-hyprland
as niri doesn't support wlr-foreign-toplevel-management)
- setup/tui-install.sh: niri added to DE selection dialog
- apply-theme.sh: niri/config.kdl added to USER_FILES for colour theming
