## What it is
iNiR is a complete desktop shell for the Niri Wayland compositor, built on Quickshell and written in QML. It provides a top bar, dock, sidebars, notifications, settings, wallpapers, overview, lock screen, IPC, and theming in one integrated shell.

## Use cases
- get a full desktop shell for Niri with bar, dock, and notifications
- rice my Linux desktop with a polished Quickshell-based setup
- customize my Niri desktop through a GUI or config. instead of editing QML
- replace Hyprland-style ricing dotfiles with a maintained Niri shell
- lock screen, overview, and wallpaper management for Niri in one package

## When to choose
- you use the Niri compositor and want a complete, cohesive shell out of the box
- you want a riced desktop without hand-assembling bar, notification daemon, and launcher yourself
- you want GUI or JSON-based configuration rather than editing QML source

## When to avoid
- you use a compositor other than Niri or Hyprland
- you want a minimal setup you compose from individual tools like Waybar and Mako
- you need a shell for GNOME, KDE, or Windows/macOS
