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.

No, River is more like i3, Sway and bspwm, really simple and does not Require coding skills. Config is a shell script but it is really simple.
