This is the best summary I could come up with:


Niri is an interesting scrollable tiling Wayland compositor inspired by PaperWM that has been gaining user interest in recent months.

This weekend marked the v0.1.3 release of this Wayland compositor.

Niri 0.1.3 rolls out support for touchpad gestures, touchscreen support is also wired up now for this compositor, physics-based spring animations have been implemented as part of the gestures work, support for gradient borders rather than simple solid color borders, wlr-screencopy support for screenshot handling, refactored window creation flow, systemd scopes, and a variety of other improvements and fixes.

Niri 0.1.3 has also made improvements for those wanting to run this compositor in environments without systemd.

Downloads and more details on the Niri 0.1.3 Wayland compositor release via GitHub.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
