This is endemic with open source. Nobody owns the hard bugs, nobody does the systems spelunking, and there is little power to make cross-cutting changes. This is why I use a Mac. Not perfect, but better than that no-accountability midden-heap that is Linux.

Maybe AI coding agents will make the situation better, but because open source maintainers are too dim to understand the complex changes the AI makes, and too poor to have their own AIs to help them, they won't take the changes. I make improvements to open source but am forced to keep them to myself.

Except GP said it works fine with all configurations with KDE, which is what most people should be using. I've been using Linux for 15+ years and have never heard of niri.
