Niri is a scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor with a fresh approach to window management. Unlike traditional tiling window managers, Niri arranges windows in columns on an infinite strip that you can scroll through horizontally. Each workspace contains these scrollable columns, giving you unlimited horizontal space while maintaining the efficiency of tiling. Built in Rust with performance in mind, Niri features smooth animations powered by custom GLSL shaders, dynamic layouts that adapt to your workflow, and native Wayland protocols for maximum compatibility.

Key Features: Scrollable column-based layout, Custom GLSL shader animations, Dynamic window sizing, Native Wayland support, Infinite horizontal workspace, Column stacking and tabbing
