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.
Void is getting some attention recently. Nice.
Ive been thinking about switching to it :3
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
Installation is pretty easy if you choose the Xfce version. The system is stable but many things in it (such as the init system) are unpopular which makes the learning curve very steep. The repo doesn't have that many packages so you have to rely on Flatpak (or Snap but idk if it works on Void) for software support. Hardware support and drivers may be an issue because of that as well.
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
