Openbox disappeared
http://openbox.org and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Openbox should be able to help. If you want it preconfigured you could install something like https://www.bunsenlabs.org (Lithium is based on Debian 10. Beryllium based on Debian 11 is in final testing)

help me choose a wm
Just fyi, river is nothing like awesome, it's like bspwm. There was an attempt to make an awesome clone for wayland but it's no longer under development. Also, though it's not tiling, for completeness there's also labwc which is a wayland clone of openbox.

What window manager or desktop environment do you use?
I've been using labwc for nearly a year now and I'm really happy with it. Its a simple floating wm though, so not sure that would be something you are looking for.
