Same problem, and same log output

[ItsLemmy]

We merged Sway compositor support. You need to get he updated flake.nix.

Having the same output on openSUSE Tumbleweed now (noctalia-shell 2.17.3 on niri 25.08).

@bobblkabb even if you use Niri, quickshell must be compiled with hyprland and i3(sway) support for it to run, as we support them.

Probably the the Tumbleweed package was not compiled with i3 support. The easiest way for you to get it working again would be to compile it yourself instead or relying on your distro package.

You may also want to report the issue to your distro Quickshell's package maintainer, and let him now you'd like to have i3 support not disabled.
