Frank's call: no per-host graveyard. The four /system/dankware/ pages carried two pieces of knowledge that outlive the box, and one that does not. Distilled: - omp-docs/system/network.md (new) — LAN topology plus the multi-link resolver law: a client with two +DefaultRoute links flaps its DNS, and the fix is a static per-connection resolver, not resolved.conf. Keeps the flush-caches-loop verification, because one successful dig proves nothing. - omp-docs/tools/niri/displays.md (new) — the multi-monitor rig: portrait transforms, absolute positions, auto-placed third panel, the iGPU render-node pin, and the three failure modes (duplicate output blocks, positions that do not reflow, a mode the panel cannot drive). Dropped: the machine's own spec sheet (CPU/GPU/PCI/NVMe inventory for a box Frank sold) and its quick-facts table. The OS and userspace facts it repeated already live in tools/cachyos.md. omp-docs/system/dankware/ moved to .AGENTTRASH/20260928-retired-workstation/ (not deleted; git history holds it too). system/index.md and the niri index repoint; niri's [[displays]] wikilink now resolves to the new page instead of the trashed one. kb-lint: 0 violations.

# Niri Wayland Compositor

Niri is a scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor. Windows are arranged in columns that scroll horizontally. It uses KDL-format configuration with an include-based modular structure.

|
|
**Version:** 26.04 (8ed0da4)
|
|
**Config:** `~/.config/niri/config.kdl`
