From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

@minicx What's the reason for installing a DE alongside #AwesomeWM? Is it just for a file manager, terminal, etc? Could be those are better installed separately vice a whole DE for a few programs. There also may be similar programs that suit your needs that are not part of any DE.
The main reason is that I don't know how to run background programs like pipewire normally.
If you do it via xinitrc, it will work only for one user.
Also I'm not sure that for example vscodium or lightdm
without dbus.
Also DE automounting usb drives
@minicx #PipeWire service should be fired up via services management and depending on how void sets it up, there may be something you need to launch when the wm starts. AwesomeWM uses
~/.xinitrcfor auto-starting programs.If you're worried about each user's initial
$HOMEconfiguration,/etc/skel/is where you can throw that basexinitrcand any other configs you want every new account to start with.I know nothing about #vscodium, sorry, can't help in that department.
Automounting could be handled quite user-frienlyful by
udiskie, it has a tray icon to make things easier. I'm pretty sure the Thunar volman plugin is also able to handle this. You don't need all of #xfce for #thunar.Soo, if i want to use timeshift i will need polkit,so what about it?
@minicx I'm no good to you on that front, sorry. Never messed with timeshift. As for polkit, I'd assume you'd set it up as you would any other time.
