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

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

Ah ok gotcha. My plan was to try dual booting so i still have a working arch system in case something doesn’t work. Thanks for the tips!
I love Void, but the small repo did make me change to Artix with Runit.
Honestly, Void is pretty straightforward, great distro.
I keep forgetting artix can do runit, I’ll have to tinker with that
I think Void is much easier to maintain than Arch. And I was on Arch for 4 years. Runit is super simple too.
I’m glad to hear it!
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.
Nah man, that’s not a river

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.
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.
Loving that nvim config… Using a similar one myself…
