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

I can only say “good luck”. It is not an easy distro. Though if the apps you use are available as flatpaks, you may be fine.

Not easy to install or not easy to maintain? Or do you mean like a lack of packages

Void has been great. I was using Arch for the last 3-4 years, then I tried Void just out of boredom and found myself liking it so much that I left it as a daily driver.

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.

No, River is more like i3, Sway and bspwm, really simple and does not Require coding skills. Config is a shell script but it is really simple.
