This posting is intended to function not only as a tutorial but, also, as a review and commentary on my ‘long-term’ use of spectrwm as my primary window manager (long-term, meaning at least one month of daily use).

I have been looking around and found a few new Distros which I plan to test and perhaps use. These are all Arch based.

Exodia (dwm, bspwm) Arch Distro:

CachyOS (gnome, kde) Arch Distro:

XeroLinux (Stable base Arch):

@tux0r I list them, so I know which distros emphasize which window Managers/Desktop
Environments. Generally distros provide excellent clues to learn from... As for sameness, it is difficult to achieve design & implementation objectives if you don't know how someone created a particular setup. New tools and tricks appear all the time.

und so geht es...oder?

I personally write-up what I learn and share it. Not everyone does that, though. I can assure you, it's Free and worth every penny. Seriously though, you are free to wander my writings to check the details and understand more of what I do with what I discover, assuming that is of interest.
