That's a lovely River setup! I used Void for quite a while as a daily driver, and only recently, switched back to vanilla Arch to run Hyprland. I was wondering if you were able to get Hyprland compiled and working in Void?
Thank you and tbh I haven't attempted to run hyprland on void as I used to run it on arch as my daily. Since switching to void I haven't really looked back and don't feel the need for all the bells and whistles.
Fair enough. Void is an excellent distribution. I quite like it a lot. For the longest time I was running spectrwm and herbstluftwm on it. But lately, I wanted to make the switch to Wayland, and projects that are current and actively maintained. Now that Wayland seems to be 'maturing', and gaining more attention, I decided to give Hyprland a whirl.
But to be honest, I kinda miss Void, so your post and dots on River have piqued my interest :-)
Thanks for making all the code available, to learn and study from.

So what made you go back to Arch exactly?
I usually live in Arch, Void, and Slackware-current. I was curious about Wayland and Hyprland, and wanted to run it by itself, with no other DEs, WMs, or X11 present on a bare-bones system. Being that Hyprland is officially supported in Arch, and well represented in the AUR, it seemed like an ideal place to start my little adventure.
Last time I checked, Void doesn't have an official Hyprland package, I'm hoping with the newly released, and updated Void install media, that Hyprland will one day soon become available for testing. Although, River seems to be an intriguing alternative under Void, which may require further investigation :-)
Slackware offers a Slackbuild of Hyprland, of which I haven't tried......yet.
So far, I'm very impressed with Hyprland, even on older hardware, it loads smoothly, looks good.......and makes a strong case for ditching X11. Herbstluftwm and Spectrwm were my favorites under Xorg, and at this juncture, I highly doubt I will switch back.
Peace
I'm a fan of Void Linux, and it's always cool to see River represented out here. Nice!
Nice to see another River user. It's just so underappreciated. It is pne of the best options for a tiling Wayland compositor, alongside Sway for a manual, and Hyprland for a dynamic.
yeah that's cool and stuff but why do you have too many tabs open?
Beautifully done!
Nice to see a fellow void enjoyer. Underrated distro if you ask me.
Very nice!
Very good! Is that foot w/ sixel and ranger w/ sixel? Latest ranger version on git let's you use native sixel as image previewer. No more need for kitty or ueberzug!
What is benefit of foot compared to alacritty and co. ?
Fellow Qutebrowser user??? Based.
