@FawnOverFun It takes quite a bit of set up to get right and there's a few basic keyboard shortcuts you need to get used to but after all of that it becomes a breeze to use; it's just not what most people are used to. And also it relies on an X11 to Wayland portal instead of XWayland so that might mess things up a bit. The way Niri handles fullscreen applications is really nice btw and you can make anything fullscreen.
