according to the open-slopware repo (https://codeberg.org/ethical-foss/open-slopware), beansprout and rhine which are WMs for river are the only WMs for now that are anti-ai, but there is little to no stuff about them. Has anyone tried them?

The beauty of river is that you just get to try out WMs :)

I was not aware of that repo existing, that's a pretty cool resource to have. Unfortunately i haven't tried any of the river window managers yet. My distro only has the old river still and i haven't bothered packaging anything myself (yet), but i am curious what the experience is like.

I use river and pair it with kwm. Not sure about their LLM policy, but I don't see any gregarious signs of usage in the repo: https://github.com/kewuaa/kwm.

Would recommend to anyone coming from dwm.

I used river for quite some time when I moved over to Wayland from bspwm. I still find it great for configuring from scratch.

No idea what are beansprout and rhine though.

beansprout and rhine are window managers for river, since 0.4 river requires a separate WM to function

Rhine is a river (wm), lol.

Can we please keep naming river wms after irl rivers?

I see. It seems river changed a lot since last time I used it. Now I'm intrigued, it adopts the old ways. Maybe I should check it again because I haven't seen a lighter WM/compositor for Wayland yet.

How are you liking bspwm? I’ve been eyeing it out too

I used bspwm for years after using i3wm. It was exactly how I wanted things. If you're staying on Xorg, bspwm is great. Nowadays I find Niri more streamlined though.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
