I mean, if that's the way they like it, that's fine. It feels a bit quaint, though, at least to me. If a graphical desktop is what I want anyway, why not make it automatic? I'm not judging, just trying to understand.
- mghackerlady 8mo agoI know a lot of arch users that do that, especially if they just use simple window managers like i3 or window maker. Though, on a wayland system startx doesn't work, each compositor has its own command
- krylon 8mo agoHuh. If you go through the hazing of installing arch without that new installation script, it is consistent, I suppose. One thing in favor of this approach, is that it is very straightforward. Not what I'd choose, but I think that is the beauty of the whole free software movement - one thing you get in utter abundance is choice.
