I am a happy foot user and I am considering switching from Sway to Niri. What has been your experience with Niri? One thing that concerns me about Niri is that it is not wlroots based. This means that many tools I accustomed to don't work with Niri. Do you have some dedicated tools for screen sharing, screen recording, screen printing, multi-monitor management, ...?

I absolutely love Niri. It has a built-in screen capture which is good enough for me. Screensharing works fine from Firefox (which is where I do all of my video conferencing). I stopped using multiple screens a long time ago, but I do occasionally hook my laptop up to my TV, and that works out of the box. Though, for stuff like that, I might log into to a Gnome + PaperWM session simply because I don’t remember how to fiddle with things, and I’m not generally trying to optimize for my workflow when I’m giving a live talk or watching TV.
