A customized Universal Blue image with niri as the default compositor. The name and logo are derived from the niri logo (CC BY-SA 4.0), which is a candle flame. The logo also uses the visual representation of a solid angle (CC BY-SA 3.0) from Wikipedia.

A candela is the metric unit of luminous intensity, equal to lumens per steradian.

This is intended for personal use, primarily on my Surface Go 3, and on my main computer as a daily driver.
