      For those who might be interested, I have just completed my ‘initial’ basic build of antiX19 with dwm (tiler) as my window manager (wm); I have also completed a fair amount of testing and tweaking.

      The setup is significantly different from a standard antiX build. The following items have been removed entirely:

      
--IceWM
--fluxbox
--jwm
--hlwm
--slim
--roxterm
--rox-filer
--etc....

      The following have been added/ augmented for use:

      
--dwm
--st-simple terminal
--slstatus
--rofi
--zenity
--thunar
--lightdm
--flatpak
--numerous console apps

      I have also swapped out a bunch of apps and replaced them with others.

      In order to sync my antiX setup with an arch setup I have, I used flatpak for thunderbird, skype, zoom, and firefox. (That way I don’t have to deal with old Debian versions of those apps).

      I’ll create a more detailed write-up on the setup in the near term (when I get around to it in my Covid enforced ‘free-time’.)

            Well @BobC that’s a long tale, imbued with great sadness and travail. Because of the Intel i5-gen 10 chipset on my Free Inspiron, I had to build from full on an old machine (Acer) then install my base antiX-dwm software including Linux kernel 5.6.10 build take a snapshot on my oldie, and then install everything on my Inspiron 5493. Et voilá.

            Nothing to it… 😉

              I have machines like that too.

              They have “personality”, LOL.
