Description

River is a non-monolithic Wayland compositor: it provides only the compositor itself, while window-management policy is delegated to an external client over a custom Wayland protocol. This separation lets users mix-and-match compositors and window managers.

For a list of window manager supporting the river compositor, please see: https://codeberg.org/river/wiki/src/branch/main/pages/wm-list.md

wayland/river: explicitly set CPU

lang/zig default behaviour is to compile for the specific CPU on which it runs. This specifies a more generic baseline CPU for amd64 and arm64. While here, add --verbose build flag, disable coloured output and observe $MAKE_JOBS. tests and feedback from yaydn (at) protonmail, thanks
