Any way of achieving this without opening a terminal? Presumably closing the terminal kills the WM?

- dizhn 4y agoCTRL+ALT plus function keys to go to a console tty.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoSorry; I know it can be done because I've seen systems (live CDs?) do it (they even had a nice menu where you could click the wm you wanted IIRC), but I never learned details.
- hsbauauvhabzb 4y agoYeah, I’m guessing running startx without one, then executing one on top, that way X doesn’t cascade terminate when the session ends or something. This is something that would improve workflow in situations where I want to use a floating wm, without terminating all windows.
