Yup openbox is a window manager, but it will run quite happily without a desktop manager (e.g. lightdm) or a desktop environment (e.g. kde, gnome, lxde - whatever their correct category is.) Which is a lot "lighter" in terms of resources.(My basic install on top of minimal is apt-get install xorg openbox at which stage startx works.)
  • ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC for rootfs, SX8200Pro 512GB NVMe for /home, HDMI video & sound, Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Arch (6.2 kernel, Openbox desktop) for general purpose daily PC.
  • PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
  • PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb, Tow-boot with Arch/SXMO on eMMC
