This is my first ever rice with niri, and for now I am daily driving it.I absolutely love the scrolling layout, easy configuration and basically everything about niri. I have used hyprland, qtile, i3, and sway, but so far, niri is the most user-friendly wm i could find.
I tried to keep it minimal while being functional, and ofcourse all in dark colors. The combo of black and white looks pretty sleek doesn't it?

Setting this rice up isn't difficult, just follow these steps:
Note
I am on arch, thus using paru(an AUR helper), it may vary depending on your distro. The package names may vary too.
- Install dependencies:
I built waybar manually, because cava module wasn't working, follow the waybar wiki if you want to do the same
paru -S niri fastfetch cava waybar anyrun ncmpcpp mpd wlogout- Clone this repo & move the files to your config dir:
