Sxmo on Arch
#1
i would like to run Sxmo under Arch. I seem to have some minor issues when using https://git.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-build to instal sxmo on top of the barebones Arch from https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pi...h/releases   The first issue is that Pacman can not find ttf-nerd-fonts-mono, but I assume ttf-fira-mono will do just fine.  So that's the least of my worries. 
The second issue is where I'm sadly stuck at the moment. it appears that I have to install xinit additionally, by hand and set up xinitrc. I'm not quite sure how to do the latter. If someone knows how to set up the Arch installation to boot into the dwm window manager, I would be grateful. I hope that this thread turns in to a short guide on how to get Arch+sxmo running (I could not find such a guide on this forum).

Thank you, that works beautifully! (With only minor troubles, like Firefox not outputting sound for some reason.)

is there any positive difference to a postmarket install? Just wondering.

Does anyone know if SXMO on Arch is active?

I built a new SDcard yesterday and the build went fine using the sxmo-alarm script. I got to the point where I noticed the megapixels/picom unusability and was going to ask here about that, but then also discovered that both incoming or outgoing calls ring and then the phone hangs/locks.

So my question - have I messed up something with SXMO/arch or shoul I stick to SXMO/pmOS for now?

TIA
