minus-squarebasiclemmon98@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up13arrow-down1·1 month agoCan confirm, best DE.

minus-squaresilly goose meekah@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 month agoIs it not? To me, a DE is just the GUI for the system. Granted, Niri is super lightweight and lacks A TON of features you’d expect from Plasma or GNOME. But it’s still a DE, no? Edit: Well, reading up a bit, it does seem like it’s ‘just’ a window manager, not a full fledged DE. Fair enough.
minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 month ago😊 And I think in Wayland… land, they don’t really call it a window manager either, since it has to do more than just manage the windows, i.e. handle all the drawing to surfaces and stuff as well. Wayland WMs are rather called compositors.

Is it a DE though?
