Give MaomaoWM a shot it’s like dwl, river, hyprland all rolled into one and is very light on resources.

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

[ MaomaoWM ] Wayland compositor

https://lemmy.world/post/31439435

[ MaomaoWM ] Wayland compositor - Lemmy.World

I’ve switched from RiverWM to MaomaoWM [https://github.com/DreamMaoMao/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 [https://git.smithies.me.uk/freebsd-dotfiles/tree/] but be warned they are a WIP and change often.

Same as a Chimera Linux user I’d definitely recommend trying it. I was a Void user beforee and was Swithering whether to go full BSD when I stumbled across Chimera which gives me the best of both worlds.

I was a serious Arch user for 10+ years when I finally decided to give Void a go on an old laptop. Needless to say Iloved it so much that it is now my daily driver. I even had a blip for a month where I thought I missed Arch but nope I just came running back home to Void. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed also take a read of this blog Unmasking the hidden gems of Void Linux
Unmasking the hidden gems of Void Linux | Animesh Sahu

Void Linux, is arguably one of the most underrated Linux distributions with incredible scripting potential. The article delves deep into some of my favorite features of it.

To get neofetch to display river and not sway make sure that you have either lsof or fuser packages installed and it should display river then. See lines 1992-1903 from this link.

ZFS Swap question

https://lemmy.world/post/9509504

ZFS Swap question - Lemmy.World

One for those running #ZFS on #Linux systems. I realise that you can’t have hibernate aka suspend to disk on a swap in the encrypted zpool but if you don’t use hibernation then is it OK to use swap using the likes of the command example below to set it up in the encrypted pool? zfs create -V “${v_swap_size}G” -b “$(getconf PAGESIZE)” -o compression=zle -o logbias=throughput -o sync=always -o primarycache=metadata -o secondarycache=none -o com.sun:auto-snapshot=false “$v_rpool_name/swap”
