Niri 26.04 was just released (scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor)
I recently switched to niri after bouncing off it about a year ago, and this time it stuck.
One thing I learned in the process was that the custom wayland desktop world has the concept of a "desktop shell," which provides most or all of the additional components you might want on top of your compositor, rather than having to separately install a top bar, manage suspend/hibernate, figure out notifications, etc. You can of course still do all of that, but you can also just install niri and something like the "dank linux" shell[0] and be off to the races. I first discovered this via awesome-niri[1].
The combination of niri and the dank linux shell means that the extent of my custom NixOS configuration for the two is entirely limited to keybindings and some custom window rules for zoom.
