      Installed antiX-19.3_x64-base.iso

      Menu => Desktop => Other Desktop => Herbstluftwm is not here.

      Where is it?

        (My theory, don’t take it as the official reason)
        Because of people denouncing “Herbstluftwm ” broke their system (meaning they didn’t know how to return to a “classical” desktop session once they logged in to a tiling window manager), it is not available from the menu.

        You have 2 ways to change your desktop session to Herbstluftwm
        1. Using the Other Desktops app (Search for it in App Slect or go to menu > Applications > Accessories > Other Desktops).
        or 2. Log out (back to SLIM), press the F1 key until you see Herbstluftwm option at the bottom.

          Second method worked

          What is meaning of the following, it comes as soon as open the hlwm session.

            2 things pop up when launching Herbstluftwm
            1. a txt file with key-bounds (for people who have just started out with the tiling window manager, as it is entirely controlled with a keyboard)
            2. The Other Desktops app, for the clueless people who don’t know how to return to one of the other supported window managers and find themselves in a strange environment.

            I think you can change them changing the Window manager configuration (so they don’t pop up on startup). I have no experience with hlwm, so you will need to read up on how to configure it.
