Starting your WM with xinit has at least one major security issue. If an attacker manages to crash your X11 session they are presented with a logged in shell from your user. Then it's just one sudo or other security issue away from getting root access or at least tinker with all your files. A login manager won't have this problem so you should probably use one.

So funny to be so worried about the decisions you make in WHAT you install, but ultimately what's important here is the philosophy and what you (the user) decides to ultimately go with because you can find installations for specific packages pretty much everywhere but DT has helped me learn all the -layers- to building a linux environment from the ground up.

hey DT - I type yay -S dwm-distrotube-git st-distrotube-git dmenu-distrotube-get nerd-fonts-monoki and I get
-> could not find all required packages:
st-distrotube-git (Target)
dwm-distrotube-git (Target)
dmenu-distrotube-git (Target)
Am I spelling something wrong?

Would have been nice to have tried it out. Never once have I been able to get arch to install on my solid state drive. Hell at least it would see it, Slackware would not even see it. Had to go with Fedora as that seems to be the only distro that I have tried that it will install on.

I have much better luck with VirtualBox in Windows with a Linux guest by setting the display to VBoxSVGA with 3D acceleration off (ignore error). And set System> Acceleration to KVM. But you have a Linux host so I'm not 100% sure, but it should still be smoother.

Hi_ImKyle
You get to the point where you run -startx- and the window manager pops up, then you start opening terminals without saying how. I googled how and the shortcut doesn't work. Not very beginner friendly if you're just gonna do things and not say how :/

I like the fact that you did an install of an Xorg setup and not something like KDE or Gnome since what you did seemed to be more of a process and required more things to do. While KDE and Gnome kinda just do all that extra stuff for you.
