| swimm3r | Hello. Can anyone guide me which is the lowest in memory footprint for WM and DE? | 08:08 |
|---|---|---|
| swimm3r | My final goal is to start X only with a chromium instance. | 08:08 |
| gnarface | swimm3r: if you are only planning on running one program you might not necessarily actually need a window manager | 12:43 |
| gnarface | if you don't install a graphical login, and just start xorg manually with startx instead, you can add a default start program to ~/.xinitrc, and that should be the lightest option | 12:45 |
| gnarface | i'm not actually sure if that will work with chromium, i've never tried it with anything that complex, but it might be worth a try | 12:46 |
| gnarface | if it turns out to need a window manager, you might consider something like twm, blackbox, or i3 | 12:47 |
| gnarface | or even something like gtk-window-decorator, though i can't find it in the repo for current stable... | 12:53 |
| gnarface | actually if you run the browser fullscreen maybe it wouldn't even need that | 12:53 |
| swimm3r | thank you gnarface for your answer | 13:14 |
| gnarface | no problem, good luck | 13:15 |
| swimm3r | gnarface: it's working fine, thanks a lot. btw 'seatd' was also needed to be installed | 13:36 |
| swimm3r | this is a temporary solution until the MAX plugin for Kodi is ready. | 13:37 |
| gnarface | swimm3r: seatd needs to be installed, but if you disable it, Xorg will still run, you'll just get some errors about it in the log at startup. for a single user it shouldn't actually be needed. | 21:39 |
| gnarface | (you've got no login manager so i don't think it can actually do anything anyway) | 21:40 |
