The best thing about **Linux** is that you can install just a bases system or a full desktop enviroment. In here we like a minimal install of our linux and we use *Tiling Window Manager*.
If you are new to this kind of installations and you don't know where to start, here is a list of tutorials that can help you to start with:
Debian is very easy to install.
In my opinion Debian and Void Linux are the most easiest to install.
Most of the power users out there, after their base installation they use a shell script to install all the packages they need for their custom build.
This is the script than i use in my post installation. I use it for this *Linux Distros*:
In this script **dwm** is my default tiling window manager to install. (you can comment out or delete the lines that install dwm if you don't want to install it)
Suckless software that will be install
This script will install all you need to start with a new Linux system. Some distros need more software than other ones.
Here is a brief list of the software that will install:
* xorg-server
* xorg-fonts
* lightdm
* lightdm-mini-greeter (**Arch Linux**, **Debian**, **Void Linux**)
* slick-greeter (**Fedora**)
* Libreries and all that stuffs
* rxvt-unicode (i like this terminal)
* st (i like this one as well)
* alacritty
* ranger
* vim
* neofetch
* lxappearance
* nitrogen
* xfce4-appfinder
* xfce4-porwer-manager
* pcmanfm (that is what i like)
* gimp
* calibre
* brave (**Arch Linux** and **Debian**)
* qutebrowser
Before you use the script, take a well look of it and change what ever you want to match your necesities for your own build.
Get the repo
git clone https://github.com/codedarkness/post_install
There are similitudes in between distros but they are not alike.
When i install my systemen i like to install **dwm** for the default window manager, dwm integrates very well with any linux distribution. Then i install another window manager if i want to use another one in my system like **xmonad**, **qtile**, **spectrwm**, **i3**.
