Any plans to move away from xdg-desktop-portal-gnome?

[coatlessali]

Niri has been great in the few months I have been using it, but I do have one thing I don't really like: xdg-desktop-portal-gnome pulls gnome-desktop as a dependency, and I'd like to get away from it if possible. Are there any plans to implement niri's own portal, or support other portals?

[YaLTeR]

There are no plans because, well, I'm a single person with limited free time, and a portal would be a whole separate project to maintain. Though, another argument for a niri portal is to expose more unusual screencast options, like workspace screencasting.

pulls gnome-desktop as a dependency

Why is this a problem? It's a small utility library: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-desktop/

I think that the real problem of xdp-gnome is its libx11 dependency. (Sorry for necrobumping)

[YaLTeR]

xdp-gtk probably also has that, and that's the fallback impl that will always be used for some portals.
