Also, I thought Neofetch just always interpreted River as Sway, but I’ve now seen people’s Neofetch screenshots saying River. How do I get Neofetch to tell I’m using River not Sway?

    To determine the current WM in Wayland, neofetch first tries getting the process connected to the current Wayland display. If that fails, it checks all running processes against a hardcoded list of known WMs (which includes river).

    In practice, it seems to prefer the value of XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, but idrk, neofetch is magic.

    You might’ve seen people use fastfetch, which should just get it right, but is also magic, tho at least c and not bash.
