Wegg 2017-02-22 23:18:04
window manager, how do you switch between them after I have installed it? Is it part of the default login?
deitarion 2017-02-22 23:18:30
Wegg: Most display managers will provide a selector on the login screen.
bazhang 2017-02-22 23:18:30
logout and login, if you meant DE
deitarion 2017-02-22 23:18:58
However, if you want to try a non-default login manager within a Desktop Environment, that'll depend on the DE.
Wegg 2017-02-22 23:19:01
What is Debian's default display manager?
Wegg 2017-02-22 23:19:10
What do you mean by DE?
bazhang 2017-02-22 23:19:22
kde gnome etc
Wegg 2017-02-22 23:19:29
Oh. I'm usig Openbox.
deitarion 2017-02-22 23:20:03
As for the default display manager, I can't help you there. I use Debian for servers.
bazhang 2017-02-22 23:20:27
lightdm or gdm I suppose
Wegg 2017-02-22 23:20:50
I'm kind of itching to try Wayland with Sway.
Wegg 2017-02-22 23:21:16
