dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.

This is my current build that I personally use and dont plan on moving to other WM or DEs. And is based on the concept of "productivity over looks and bling". Sure It might not be the best looking or even working dwm or other wm but with this you will never need a mouse for your workflow, everything is perfectly useable when combined with the dotfiles I have.

Requirements

Install these packages:

xbps-install libX11 libXft libXinerama libX11-devel libXft-devel libXinerama-devel

Installation

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).

No need to edit if you use VOIDLINUX

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if necessary as root):

make clean install

Running dwm

Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:

exec dwm

This uses a autostart script from the directory ~/.local/share/dwm/autostart.sh so be sure to make that file and make it executable using chmod +x.

You can find an example of this script here

Also, this works very well when used with my dots st config dmenu config and lastly my slstatus config
