Where did you find the Noctalia vibe coding evidence, I need to take a look at it to be certain, as I am debating if I want to use KaOS which uses Niri+Noctalia. I need that certainty before I just bugger off from using KaOS. As I'd love a reasonably easy to install, systemd free distro. KaOS meets that criteria.
If anything, I might as well build my own damn WM after learning Python and C, as the beauty of Linux is I can build my own software and bugger off of the supplied stuff best as possible.
