After you installed {{ic|xwayland-satellite}} Niri will integrate it out of the box and all of your XWayland apps will function properly.

=== File picker not working ===

If you are using <code>xdg-desktop-portal-gnome</code>, it will attempt to use Nautilus as the file picker, which will fail if Nautilus is not installed.

To work around this problem, you can force usage of the gtk or kde portals for file picker instead:

{{File|3=xdg.portal.config.niri = {

"org.freedesktop.impl.portal.FileChooser" = [ "gtk" ]; # or "kde"

};|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|lang=nix}}
