Niri already had support for X11 through xwayland-satellite, although $DISPLAY and xwayland-satellite had to be started manually.
That said, being enabled by default is great and the other changes are awesome too.

Interesting. I feel like 2021 might be the time I first noticed this freezing/crashing on my PC, but not my laptop. I always thought it was the GPU, but after switching to another AMD GPU it still happens.
The freezes happen irregularly, i.e. there’s been times I thought it was fixed for it just to happen again.


I’m using zram on all my systems, be it 4GB or 16GB. Usually swap is empty, so there’s no compressing for the CPU to do anyway. If a RPI is capable of ZRAM, your PC won’t break a sweat.
ZSTD is really fast. I’m using btrfs compression too, and don’t notice any performance impact either.
It’s packagekit which is slow. I’ve used Gnome Software on Fedora Atomic and it is quite fast (since a few big optimizations about two years ago) because it only has support for flatpak enabled.
