  • I got Canoe and jrwm to show me some windows. But on other WMs I think they just don’t register my keypresses like they should so there a re no windows showing up. Maybe I’m missing some other package or step that is so “well known” that it’s not included in any of the setup guides. In general I think the setup process to a basic functioning system is just more involved than I’ve had on other DEs. And I’m probably not deep enough into Linux and am expecting more from the window manager than it actually offers.


  • I like the concept and tried it on Arch once but couldn’t really get most window managers to work. The screen was just black and there was no mouse movement. I searched for some tutorials on how to get started but couldn’t find any. Do you have tips on how to get a working basic setup from which you can actually try out all the different WMs?

















  • One thing that is really annoying is that for working with plugging in and out SD cards in my internal SD card reader I always have to go to standby for it to properly remove and then again to properly detect a new one being inserted. This does not seem to be a problem with external readers.

    Also I mostly keep my laptop in standby but have to restart every two weeks since some small things like fingerprint sign in seem to just randomly stop working after a few days of usage.

    Otherwise it’s smooth sailing but I think that’s mostly because I have an older Thinkpad and they are just really well supported and I’m not trying to do very special things and mostly stick do default workflows in my distro.
