I've switched from RiverWM to MaomaoWM and I'm loving it. I still get tags rather than workspaces and per output tags. I can have custom animations just like Hyprland and an IPC client like on Sway.

Bar - Waybar Terminal - Foot File manager - lf Editor - Neovim Browser - Firefox

Dot files but be warned they are a WIP and change often.

Huh, I've never heard of MaomaoWM before. I'm happy to see the space of tiling Wayland compositors continue to be populated.

Would you say the main differences with River is the animations?

[–] JustineSmithies@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

MaomaoWM has animations and has more layouts than River. It even has a scrolling layout like Niri.

That's pretty cool. I'll have to check it out.

Oh wow, a wayland compositor i hadn't heard of before! Also looks like it's fairly new. Looks like a really cool project. I should probably check this out soon, i'm using NixOS so looks like i should be able to use the flake.
