[river+kwm] testing the new waters
(lemmy.world)
After the river 0.4 release I migrated from river-classic to kwm, recreating about the same design I've used for years now.
The image is a combination of three separate screenshots of the same screen. It shows a 'fake-busy' terminal (foot) based workflow featuring neovim, yazi, aerc, senpai and newsraft.

I looked for something that was similar to river-classic, kwm seemed the most mature one, but they're all very young of course. it's heavily inspired on dwm (includes a similar bar too) and the the developer is quite responsive. I do 'miss' the riverctl-based way of configuration which I liked in river-classic, I believe only zrwm (https://sr.ht/~zuki/zrwm/) currently does that. I haven't tried them all yet as some lacked features I need/want.
Sounds good. kwm and zrwm are on my shortlist. I've also seen tinyrwm and I'm heartened by how short the implementations are. I've been thinking about perhaps writing my own WM. I might take a read of tinyrwm to get an idea of what rolling my own might be like and give it a go.
