Void is getting some attention recently. Nice.
- Ive been thinking about switching to it :3
  
  I can only say "good luck". It is not an easy distro. Though if the apps you use are available as flatpaks, you may be fine.
- Void has been great. I was using Arch for the last 3-4 years, then I tried Void just out of boredom and found myself liking it so much that I left it as a daily driver.

Nah man, that's not a river

Never heard of river but looks really cool! Come to think of it, I haven't heard or a bunch of this stuff- yazi looks really neat
- 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.

Loving that nvim config.. Using a similar one myself....
