- core/display.py: write_positions() persists Arrangement's drag-and-drop
layout into niri's config.kdl (one output { position x= y= } per output),
validated via `niri validate` on a temp copy with a .kdl.bak backup before
writing — same pattern as core/keybindings.py's rebind(). Previously the
page only ever called `niri msg output … position set`, which niri treats
as live-only and drops on the next login/reload.
- gui/pages/display.py: Arrangement's Apply now runs each output's `niri msg
output … position set` synchronously instead of queuing them all on the
single-shot ProcessRunner (which rejects a second run() while the first is
still async) — a 2-monitor apply previously moved only the first output
and silently dropped the rest. _dock_to_nearest keeps the free axis at the
dragged position (so a shorter display can sit vertically centered next to
a taller rotated one) rather than forcing corner alignment.
- core/panel.py, files/__init__.py: incidental fixes alongside the above.
- packaging/: signing-key generation script + build-user systemd setup for
the [tanin] AUR auto-rebuild pipeline; PKGBUILD bumped to pkgrel=5.
- src/taninux/browser/: new module for browser theme sync (Fuji accent).
2.6 KiB
TANINUX
Arch-based Linux distro (codename camel) built around the
niri scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor and
a GTK4 desktop with its own accent/theming system. Ships a central
maintenance TUI/GUI plus a small suite of first-party apps, distributed via a
custom [tanin] pacman repo and a Calamares-based installer ISO.
The pillars
The central taninux app is organized around five pillars:
- maintain — scan and clean up (orphans, caches, leftover kernel modules)
- update — aggregate updates from pacman, AUR and flatpak
- kernel — install/remove kernel variants, boot-default management
- suggest — rule-based setup suggestions
- health — system health checks
The apps
| Command | What it is |
|---|---|
taninux |
Maintenance TUI (Textual) |
taninux-gtk |
GTK4 shell |
tsettings |
Settings app (network, display, audio, users, …) |
thub |
Software Hub (repo/AUR/flatpak install) |
tfiles |
Native GTK4 file manager |
tmusic (TIDAL client) has moved to its own repo, taninux-music
(GPL-3.0, depends on taninux[gui]), and is no longer part of the base
ISO.
The GTK apps run on a custom libadwaita-free backend
(src/taninux/gui/ui/native.py + style_apple.css); TANINUX_UI=adw
selects the libadwaita backend.
Installing
On an existing Arch system
Add the [tanin] repo to /etc/pacman.conf (see
docs/distribution.md), then:
pacman -S tanin-desktop # full desktop: niri + eww shell + apps
pacman -S taninux # just the maintenance tool
Via the ISO
See iso/BUILD.md — archiso profile with a Calamares installer (btrfs subvolume layout, snapper/snap-pac).
