Why River over Hyprland?

Stable
Faster
Tag system - I was dwm user on x, so it felt comfy.

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.

No, River is more like i3, Sway and bspwm, really simple and does not Require coding skills. Config is a shell script but it is really simple.
