If you are looking to learn window managers... remember there are two primary styles:
1. stacking (the more popular)
2. tiling (more on edge due to its less common interface style).

The most popular stacking wm is probably OpenBox (OB). iceWM & fluxbox are close behind. My unofficial ratings ...

Well, I have installed the 3 desktop WMs mentioned and they all seem to work. I have to learn how to use them! I even included others, such bwspm, dwm, herbluftwm, and xmonad. That's a lot of window managers! It is my hope to get experience in all of these, eventually. Productivity in coding and ...

Bwspm is one of the WMs I would like to experience in a matter of time. Isn't that close to be one of the most advanced WMs out there?

What is the difference between polybar and tint2?

And finally, are you saying you are making your own distro based off of MX & antix on top of bwspm / i3 ...

I am one of very few bspwm users here.

I can say that I have no problem running i3wm and xfce from the same user account with bspwm (on MX 18.3 and antiX19b3). Though, i3wm & bspwm need to have different versions of ploybar &/or tint2 if you choose to use those. That is not an MX or antiX issue ...

Now that makes me wonder. I installed Gnome and KDE desktop environments on Arch and I wonder if that conflicted with some things. I always kept the default GDM as the DM, though. That what you speak of I didn't know, though!

I am so thankful that I've went to this distro, as I learned something I didn't even know, including about what was going on with my experience in Archlinux. I thought I'd share it with the community.

If I'm not mistaken, I might have tried to install the latest video drivers, which I made the same ...

Yes, I agree the Arch Wiki and also the Gentoo Wiki are great resources to learn from and are great distros. One can learn even by installing Archlinux in a VM (Virtual Machine for new users) , which I will be doing in the future. Perhaps I can replicate what I did wrong if it was my own doing ...

That is confirmation I needed.

I could be wrong, however perhaps it was installing the latest KDE Plasma that was at fault, as I've read it has great ability for customization and part of me wanted me to see if I could install it! I also have read about KWin, which is a seperate, but installable ...
