Why River over Hyprland?

  • Stable
  • Faster
  • Tag system - I was dwm user on x, so it felt comfy.
  • Minimal - I don't like rounded corners or confusing animations

Never heard of river but looks really cool! Come to think of it, I haven't heard or a bunch of this stuff- yazi looks really neat

It is very solid WM. If you have used dwm before, you feel like home. Yazi is like modernized lf/ranger clone written in Rust, it is very fast and comes with sane defaults.

Yazi sounds ideal! Does river involve as much set up as dwm? I really love the ideas behind suckless tools but they normally involve a lot or set up to configure hoe I like.
