Hi! I make niri, a scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri

I mainly post on Mastodon: https://mastodon.online/@YaLTeR
i added the pointer warping thing from blender to when you drag the view around in niri with the mouse

hf with this new way to pass time during boring meetings

(on a more serious note this helps when you need to scroll further than the edge of your monitor allows)

i have this old ASUS Eee PC collecting dust, decided to try if niri will run on it. well, it actually runs! a few shaders failed compiling (ran into ALU instruction limits), but otherwise seems to work
