TBH I really liked the idea behind river, but does it have tabs? Also... I would need to write my own custom layout, wouldn't I?
BTW: are there other WMs that are modular like river?

Sorry to be a bother, but... how do I tell hyprland I want a window to be added to a specific group?
I was thinking of something like:
windowrulev2 = tag texteditor, class:(myfirsteditor)
windowrulev2 = tag texteditor, class:(mysecondeditor)
windowrulev2 = group XXX, tag:texteditor
but I can't find what I should write instead of group XXX to tell hyprland/hy3 that I want the window to be added to a group on the left-side of workspace 1...
I would also be fine with some rule that could be added to exec or probably even some dispatcher, but I can't find anything that allows to target (or define) a specific group.
Am I pursuing this from the wrong direction?
Philosophy aside, the practical issue with your terminal emulator having to support your shell is... that one does not use just one shell: what happens whenever you start a repl or an whatever program that has interactive sessions (say, for example, psql or parted)?
tightly integrated shell and terminal emulator support. There are just things you cannot do with these being separate things.
I can't think of any, but I'm not the most creative person... what do you have in mind?
Having something that is like (say) tmux+fish could make sense, but only if it's something that outweighs the lost flexibility of being able to combine + .
Might I add the idea that your terminal emulator must support your shell is utterly ridiculous?

Also Wave might be FOSS but if you look at the footer in their website it says it's backed by venture capital... how would you estimate the chances it gets closed, paywalled or otherwise enshittified?
That's not something a terminal emulator should do - it's a feature that belongs in your shell :)
Irrelevant: the goal is not preventing shootings (I mean, they would go for the obvious solution otherwise)
Why did they call them 'gold' and 'silver pro'?
I have no idea what a DreamMachine is (and wikipedia does not help) so here's the long answer :)
If you want a VPN tunnel to your own home, for secure access to your LAN, I'd recommend you look into NetBird and/or TailScale, which at their core are wireguard plus NAT punch-through (you can also run wireguard or openvpn directly, but it may be a pain since you most probably have a dynamic IP and possibly a CGNAT).
If you want to hide your traffic while connecting through networks you don't trust (such as the work one or some cafe's wifi), you can either use NetBird/Tailscale as above and connect though your home (well, assuming you trust your ISP of course) or some third party VPN which connects to their servers (I'd say look into Proton first).
Keep in mind that VPNs actually do very little for your online privacy (ie. it's not like google or facebook can't track or fingerprint you). They do is prevent man-in-the-middle traffic analysis from your ISP (or the admin of whatever LAN you are using), but then the VPN provider can do the exact same things, so... make sure to double-check the privacy guarantees of your VPN provider and compare them with those of your ISP.
What do you (think you) need a VPN for?
Lineage OS is not designed to relock the bootloader.
I don't understand why so many people worry about that... doesn't it only ensure that data is wiped if some agent secretly installs a rootkit or sorts on your phone before giving back the device to you?
To me, bootloader locking is mostly a way for phone manufacturers to make it harder to run anything but the ROM they have chosen (and it's a PITA and the most laborious part of installing a ROM).
I hate them (seriously).
It's basically a second distro inside your distro (try du -chs /var/lib/flatpak/) and if something breaks (eg. last year mesa with my graphics card) it isn't easy to identify were the problem is (because all libs update at the same time), plus you can't just try a newer (or older) version of some lib as you would in your distro.
Moreover, you can't flatpak CLI tools (also servers and OS components, but I guess the ubuntu folks are the only ones who care about those).

Reading https://codeberg.org/river/river/src/branch/master/protocol/river-layout-v3.xml it seems to me that what I want to do is actually not possible in river, even writing a custom layout manager...
IIUC the protocol works like this: river asks "how should I layout N windows in HxW screen?" and the layout replies "window1: H1xW1 at offset X1,Y1; window2: H2xW2 ...", so there is no way for the layout manager to identify specific windows and, in my use case, put all the text editors on the left side of the screen etc.
Did you have some other approach in mind when you suggested river? (I may very well be over-complicating things and not seeing a more straightforward solution)
