Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

River is a non-monolithic Wayland compositor. Unlike other Wayland compositors, river does not combine the compositor and window manager into one program. Instead, river defers all window management policy to a separate window manager implementing the river-window-management-v1 protocol. This includes window position/size, pointer/keyboard bindings, focus management, window decorations, desktop shell graphics, and more. River itself provides frame perfect rendering, good performance, support for many Wayland protocol extensions, robust Xwayland support, the ability to hot-swap window managers, and more.
