window manager choices/questions. - D4rkh0rs3 - 04-26-2021
There are a bunch of new people coming that will be driving Manjaro and Puse-Mobile.
A few questions for myself and on their behalf.
Why do I want to try Phosh or <insert favorite>, why do you like it better, what do you dislike.
Obviously as a small computer the phone should run whatever window manager with some tweaking. What have you tried and how did it work? How did it work as a phone at the same time?
Has anybody played with display managers for switching window managers? What worked and how well?
(because then I can change just that part and keep my contacts, /home, configuration....)

(sorry to necro post)
What I've done is put a startup script in the session file for lightdm (I always start with the mate-ui on pmos and that installs lightdm) and put a list of WMs in it. That way I can exit them and the next in the list will start so I can experiment with lots of different UIs. I always avoid experimenting with the first so that I can recover the configs on the later ones.
