What the fuck is up with the title? you may ask, well here is your answer:

Me: Give me a title for a post of riverwm on unixporn

Dolphin-Mistral:

Title: "The Majestic RiverWM - A Visual Symphony of Unix Purity"

UnixPorn is known to showcase the beauty and power of the Unix operating system. This time, we've got a visual treat for you all. Behold, the majestic RiverWM!

RiverWM is not just another window manager, but it's an intricate symphony that orchestrates your Unix environment in a visually pleasing and functional manner. With its minimalistic design, you can navigate through tabs with ease and enjoy the fluidity of this elegant solution.

From the gentle flow of text to the mesmerizing cascade of windows, RiverWM is truly a visual spectacle that pays homage to Unix's purity. It's not just about aesthetics; it's about embracing the essence of what makes Unix so special.

Join us as we dive into this captivating world of tabs and windows, where the beauty lies in the simplicity of each element. This is the RiverWM - a celebration of the Unix way of life!

I meant to do one of those minimal, out-of-the-way & no distractions customizations but could not resist temptation.

River really is a wonderful project and I wish more people knew about it and used it

I'm especially excited for its future as River will become more of a base upon which you can build your own Window Manager, rather than just a Layout Generator, and as such, it will more or less follow the Emacs path: here's a default use case for our system, you're free to build whatever you want on top of it!

I use riverwm on my private laptop, which I don't use regularly. My biggest problem is its departure from ordinary WMs way of starting itself. I think this causes quite some issues with dbus sessions etc. which are troublesome to fix.

I'm a hyprland user (mostly due it had an upstream flake and worked at first try on my nvidia optimus laptop) but I really want to look into RiverWM. I wonder how well it supports NixOS…
