DankLinux provides packages for the Niri scrolling Wayland compositor and related tools, targeting popular mainstream distros: Fedora, openSUSE, Debian, and Ubuntu. Niri and related tools are still too bleeding-edge to appear in Debian or Ubuntu's official repos, so if you're interested in Niri and don't want to assemble the long list of prerequisites to compile everything yourself, this is an easy way to try it out.

While it pains me as a normie Gen-Xer to recommend anything "dank", using Niri along with DankMaterialShell [1] for configuration and launching apps lets you quickly put together a reasonably complete desktop using this repo. I've been building my own Niri binaries for a few months now, and I'm very happy that I can finally retire my build environment.
