I'm actually more interested in the Niri "A scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor". It never occurred to me that a valid desktop/windowing paradigm would be one with an infinite horizontal strip. Not sure if I want it, but it's pretty unique.

Think of it less as an "infinite strip" (with implications of windows being lost in the mist, far away) and more as "each workspace is laid out in a strip".

Most of my workspaces have 2-5 columns, with 2-3 fitting on an ultrawide monitor at once.[1]

It's more like "what if tiling window manager, but with even less time spent on adjusting window sizes".

[1]: Let's agree not to talk of the insanity that contains my open browser windows. That is as near infinite as 96 GB RAM lets me have..
