Press SuperT to run a terminal ([Alacritty]) and SuperD to run an application launcher ([fuzzel]). To exit niri, press SuperShiftE. -If you're not using a display manager, you should run `niri --session` from a TTY. +If you're not using a display manager, you should run `niri-session` (systemd) or `niri --session` (not systemd) from a TTY. 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. -- cgit
