I am running Bluefin immutable distro and I would like to test Niri. I found on the net that the cleanest way is to use systemd-sysext and I have managed to install Niri using the community extensions.

Now I would like to install Dank Material Shell, and it has a couple of pre-requisites and I am clueless how I can add them again with systemd-sysext.

I tried to look for additional information, but found very little on the matter. Do any of you have experience with this?

    I’m not super familiar with sysext, but from my understanding, you’d need to create an additional sysext to include, or find an existing one for DMS (I couldn’t find one).

    Your other options would be using rpmtree or a custom image. Theres already a few images out there that are based on Bluefin with Niri + DMS added.

    Tbh I’m recalling struggling to find good documentation for sysext. Asking in the ublue discord will probably get you better answers.
