    Why would you need a window manager when you already have the TTY?

      The next step is to create an ASCII graphics library for use within tty so you can have the best of both worlds. Just set the font smaller when you want a higher resolution

      that's even worst level of low key elitism than changing window manager... low effort... (the more I read comment on this channel, the more I feel like a f*** dad... recognizing all those jokes from decades ago... please update your humour package, or at least make it 64bit...)

    You might be misleading people into thinking that pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 is killing off their X session. It's doing nothing of the sort; it's just switching to a TTY (text terminal) session. You can switch back to the running graphical session any time.

    Thank you for this video. I have an old laptop that cannot have more than 1 GB of RAM, didn't hear about x64 or such a luxury as multiple cores. The only solutions for me are Windows XP, Linux or some more exotic OS. So everything that brings resource usage down while still being usable is good for me.

If u give it root it can delete/modify anything on the system so one mistake in the script and it can bork the whole system as root and trust me i've seen people get system borked by improperly written make scripts ran as root

      the all interest of dwm and other suckless software is that there is no config file or "modules".

      I always wanted to learn Unix, plus I was studying more of the security aspect of the field and wanted a OS that was more security oriented and straight to the point with simple documentation.

    also newb Linux Question, i always wondered about how compatibility works in Linux. like for a game maker or program maker, do they only aim to make Arch based and Debian based things and are they cross compatible, what is missing... and forward and backward compatibility in one distro and also cross distro compatibility... aside from the misconception that "Linux can only be used with a terminal" (easily disproved), the big question is compatibility, do game makers need to make 50 versions of their game or only 2 (Debian/Arch) or maybe more if versions matters?
    maybe a good subject for a video to demystify that topic that even programmers in the game industry might totally have the wrong idea and keep away due to lack of understanding and too many assumptions. it is a newb question but i doubt it is typical.

    To be honest there are unneeded and complicated steps here. For one you probably would never need to go into the root user to do this. As well as most people use a login manager you could just logout and switch to dwm from sessions.

      Well yeah, newbs and the people that stick to Mint or Ubuntu have a mind set that you need to reinstall the whole goddamn OS just to get KDE or XFCE. So that's what I figured is this video's target audience. Users like you and me, know this shit better than the back of our hands so its somewhat redundant.

      you are right, this video is aimed at new people to linux. I guess too, yet i doubt that many new people will even want to use a window manager XD.
