#I needed a lightweight GUI for the raspberry pi that A) Didn't have a dependancy on the entire Internet and B) Uses low resources but is still pretty powerful. The awesome window manager fits the bill nicecly allowing for me to tile windows in various different ways. | |
#Awesome needs an X11 Server in order to start so install this as follows: | |
sudo apt-get install -y xinit #xinit has xserver-xorg and other packages under the "Recommends" section (you can see them with apt-cache show xinit) that *SHOULD* hopefully pull in all of the dependancies Awesome needs. | |
#Awesome can be installed as follows: | |
sudo apt-get install -y awesome | |
#To start awesome simply run `startx` and then `awesome`. E.g: | |
startx & awesome |
