Thanks. I have almost a plain fluxbox in my desktop and for sure this video will help me to improve it while learning a thing or two. You and J@L are my favorites youtubers!

Great vid, Drew! And a cool script of course, nice to walk through those options. And the styling (even qtile) doeas appeal. Installed that picom straight away for dwm ;-) Cool one, thanks!

Can you believe my luck, I was distro hopping and I landed up in this video. Many thanks. Great build, will def try qtile, dwm and awesome Hope you will also do a similar wayland WM script sometime in the future.
@morbidsoy yesterday

Ive always been hesitant at trying a tiling wm cause my brain is too smooth to configure it, but thanks to your script I finally tried to use a tiler although I wont do anything fancy for now.

Thank you so much for your hard work and making this available for us to learn from. Currently experimenting with DWM. Trying to determine how to change the date format to 24-hr as tends to be preferred by us Europeans.

I've been around long enough to have had an arpanet ID before it was shuttered (NTS). I've shied away from Linux as I had a nasty taste of SunOS. But I really need a Linux laptop in my home shop. I followed your debian install with timeshift and couldn't be happier. That was an awesome process with an even better result! I struggled a bit (on my own) to get a cinnamon look to my desktop to something usable... for me. Now you've come out with a very useful product that can standardize key-bindings...which may make me use timeshift hard the next couple of weeks..... damn you! ;-)
