Noctalia on Debian Trixie

Recently, I explore Wayland on my Debian. As a conservative distro, only a few Wayland compositor in it's official repository (yes, I avoid full desktop, minimal and simple is my preferred approach). Hyprland is not available, unless you compile it from the source code or use 3rd party script such as Jakoolit and also I prefer something simpler, so I install labwc.

sudo apt install labwc

Install swaybg to handle the wallpaper

sudo apt install swaybg
Install mako for notification
sudo apt install mako

Finally install noctalia in Debian Trixie :

Install the repository signing key
wget https://pkg.noctalia.dev/deb/nickh-archive-keyring.deb && sudo dpkg -i nickh-archive-keyring.deb
Add the repository
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/noctalia-trixie.sources https://pkg.noctalia.dev/deb/noctalia-trixie.sources
Install noctalia
sudo apt update
sudo apt install noctalia
Edit .config/labwc/autostart, add this line to start noctalia in labwc session
noctalia >/dev/null 2>&1 &
*optional: add this line to enable swaybg randomly choose an image file inside /Pictures/wallpapers folder as the wallpaper, the wallpaper will change on boot
swaybg -i $(find ~/Pictures/wallpapers/. -type f | shuf -n1) -m fill &
noctalia in action inside Debian Trixie
