I mean, its cool, but niri is 0.1.9 now. This post is ancient.
- Yup, still cool :)
Is there a way to do something like this on KDE? I'm considering streaming soon, and I want to be able to share some windows, but not all, or only share a workspace/virtual desktop with my stream.
- Use OBS for streaming. It's a great FOSS piece of software. You generally don't stream your whole desktop, but instead make a composite of different sources, such as different windows. Start experimenting with it if, if you want to start streaming soon. Same for you, @boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net!
  
  Yes me too. I just stream my whole monitor and add black bars to hide unneeded decorations and like my open apps etc.
  But I didnt try single apps, is that a Pipewire thing? I do a ton of QGis tutorials and QGis needs to run through XWayland to not break when moving toolbars, afaik.
  Like, QGis opens a ton of new windows, not sure if the KDE plasma portal supports capturing them too automatically.
- Same here, no idea
