The `--session` flag will make niri import its environment variables globally into systemd and D-Bus, and start its D-Bus services. You can also run `niri` inside an existing desktop session. Then it will open as a window, where you can give it a try. +Note that this windowed mode is mainly meant for development, so it is a bit buggy (in particular, there are issues with hotkeys). Next, see the [list of important software](./Important-Software.md) required for normal desktop use, like a notification daemon and portals. Also, check the [configuration overview](./Configuration:-Overview.md) page to get started configuring niri. |
