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?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Rhine is a river (wm), lol.

Can we please keep naming river wms after irl rivers?

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

there's also argen and ropotamo :)

Wait i know your name

that's so crazy

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.
