<sup>Since: next release</sup> Niri works with the [Orca](https://orca.gnome.org) screen reader.
Please see the [Accessibility](./Accessibility.md) page for details and advice for accessibility-focused distributions.
### Desktop components
You very likely want to run at least a notification daemon, portals, and an authentication agent.
This is detailed on the [Important Software](./Important-Software.md) page.
On top of that, you may want to preconfigure some desktop shell components to make the experience less barebones.
Niri's default config spawns [Waybar](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar), which is a good starting point, but you may want to consider changing its default configuration to be less of a kitchen sink, and adding the `niri/workspaces` module.
You will probably also want a desktop background tool ([swaybg](https://github.com/swaywm/swaybg) or [swww](https://github.com/LGFae/swww)), and a nicer screen locker (compared to the default `swaylock`), like [hyprlock](https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprlock/).
Alternatively, some desktop environments and shells work with niri, and can give a more cohesive experience in one package:
- [LXQt](https://lxqt-project.org/) officially supports niri, see [their wiki](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/ConfigWaylandSettings#general) for details on setting it up.
- Many [XFCE](https://www.xfce.org/) components work on Wayland, including niri. See [their wiki](https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap#component_specific_status) for details.
- There are complete desktop shells based on Quickshell that support niri, for example [DankMaterialShell](https://github.com/AvengeMedia/DankMaterialShell) and [Noctalia](https://github.com/noctalia-dev/noctalia-shell).
- You can run a [COSMIC](https://system76.com/cosmic/) session with niri using [cosmic-ext-extra-sessions](https://github.com/Drakulix/cosmic-ext-extra-sessions).
