Hey guys,

I plan the following project: I would like to install antix with suckless dwm on a Rapesberry Pi 4 to run pihole (with unbound and squid proxy server) and a mystery node.
The Mystery Network is a decentralized VPN.
My question is now, is this setup possible with AntiX dwm? I want to keep the whole thing as minimalist as possible.
Which antiX would be a good choice here and what is the difference between base and frugal? Is there base and frugal also available for 19.4?
And would I have to install antiX normally in this case, and afterwards dwm or is there also a direct image with dwm?
This would also be my first pure Window Manager distro.
Thank you for any help.

First obstacle: antiX is not available for arm64 architecture.

You are better off starting with a different distro, like Debian, that do have ISOs, packages and an installer ready for ARM. You can then install or compile the things you need on it.

Oh I see =/. Another question, will pi hole work without systemd?

"Rapesberry" ???? I assume that is humor.... As for dwm, I have had no problem setting up dwm on antiX or MX. There's a ton of tutorials on my site for you to steal from .

Yes. There doesn't seem to be any systemd hard dependency. I remember reading people using it on devuan+Rpi4, so I assume they didn't need to do much for pihole to work.

Just a quick question: Is there a reason that Raspbian (Raspberry Pi OS) won't meet your needs? There are three variants, two with desktops and one headless. The OS is a Debian derivative so might be a good place to start.

Google, Duckduckgo, Bing etc. are your friends.
