Heya folks! It's sync day, and that means it's time for the weekly Solus roundup!
This week, Hyprland has been updated to v0.50.1, bringing a slew of improvements and fixes. Notable new config features include: monitor v2 config syntax with HDR rules, and multi-GPU support. See notes here and here.
The NVIDIA GLX driver has been updated to v570.172.08. This should be a minor bugfix release.
Niri, a scrollable tiling Wayland compositor and window manager, has been added to the repository. Out of the box, it is pretty bare. This is because with Niri, you can use just about any programs you want to create your setup; even Xfce panel. XWayland applications can be started thanks to integration with xwayland-satelite
. Make sure to install the niri-session
package so it shows up on the login screen.
A few packages were added to go along with Niri:
fuzzel
: an application launcher.
mako-notify
: A lightweight notification daemon.
swaync
: The notification daemon for Sway. Includes a notification center.
Aside from Niri, Klassy has been added to the repository. Klassy is a highly customizable binary Window Decoration, Application Style, and Global Theme plugin for recent versions of the KDE Plasma desktop.

ahead of the next release. Thank you to all that have contributed!
