Niri is a Scrollable Wayland Compositor for Linux , developed by YaLTeR His Community Rust language and provides a modern scrolling tiling workflow for an efficient working environment . It’s the default window manager of RengeOS .
This’s an image of the NiriWM Edition :
Here you will learn about them and configure them.

All Niri configurations are saved here: ~/.config/niri/
Below are some errors I’ve encountered during use and how to fix them (temporarily until I find a solution):
After the installation process, restarting, and logging into Niri, if the default wallpaper doesn’t load, we will resolve it as follows:
Press Mod+Alt+W to open the wallpaper selection tool then select the wallpaper located in the ~/Pictures/Wallpapers/ folder and wait to see if the wallpaper loads.
If nothing happens , we’ll restart the computer because it’s highly likely that the process killed or crashed and perhaps it will work again.
First , make sure you have updated all your packages. If not, do the following:
Then restart your computer to apply the changes.
After restarting , the audio indicator should definitely work normally again.
Please note that occasionally the audio indicator may not appear on the Waybar. We can fix this by: pkill waybar && waybar & disown
I don’t understand why all other Nautilus functions work fine except for the renaming feature.
Therefore , we will use the renaming method as follows:
mv ./old-file-or-folder-name ./new-file-or-folder-name
If you want your Firefox interface to match the colors of the Waybar or Kitty, here’s what we’ll do:
First , download the pywalfox extension for Firefox here: pywalfox
Next , click on the PyWalfox icon located in the extensions section, then click the “Fetch Pywal colors” button to get the color and that’s how we synchronize the colors.
First , we need to download the following packages:
sudo pacman -Sy bluez bluez-utils blueman
Next , we need to activate the bluetooth service.
# Enable bluetooth service
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service
# Start bluetooth service
sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service
Now you will see a bluetooth icon on the bar then tap it and connect, or you can connect through the blueman app.
We will turn it off as follows:
sudo systemctl disable ly@tty2.service
Then we will restart the machine to apply the changes and you can enable the login manager you want.
