New issue by Jipok on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/48456

Description:
### Package name

niri

### Package homepage

https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri

### Description

Very cool window manager concept. If you add such binds:
```
    Mod+A     { focus-column-left; }
    Mod+S     { focus-window-or-workspace-down; }
    Mod+W     { focus-window-or-workspace-up; }
    Mod+D     { focus-column-right; }
```
then moving through windows and workspaces can be represented as moving along a grid using WASD (as in games). Which is very convenient and the animation makes everything amazing.
However, the authors' attitude towards X11(`X11 is very cursed`) and the lack of [Xwayland](https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/wiki/Xwayland) support makes it unsuitable for my use.
Despite the fact that the readme clearly mentions a systemd dependency, I was able to build and run it under void without any problems. For those interested, I will leave my template here:
```

        vmkdir etc/niri

}
```

Wow! I wanted something like this for ages!

Nextcloud did not work for me. I solved it by running 

```
#! /usr/bin/sh
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=niri

# Ensure the session type is set to Wayland for xdg-autostart apps.
export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland

dbus-run-session niri
```
to start niri.

Edit: And adding `resources/niri-portals.conf`  to `/usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/`

Comment:
I did not figure out how to get screenshots working... 

From the default configuration file:
```
// The path is formatted with strftime(3) to give you the screenshot date and time.
```

Maybe there is some missing dependency in the template, but I don't know which...

Do you use musl or glibc ? @Jipok
