Install all you need after the vanilla base install in Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora and Void Linux

Linux Systems

The best thing about **Linux** is that you can install just a bases system or a full desktop enviroment. In here we like a minimal install of our linux and we use *Tiling Window Manager*.

If you are new to this kind of installations and you don't know where to start, here is a list of tutorials that can help you to start with:

In my opinion Debian and Void Linux are the most easiest to install.

Post Installation

Most of the power users out there, after their base installation they use a shell script to install all the packages they need for their custom build.

This is the script than i use in my post installation. I use it for this *Linux Distros*:

Arch Linux

Debian

Fedora

Void Linux

In this script **dwm** is my default tiling window manager to install. (you can comment out or delete the lines that install dwm if you don't want to install it)

Suckless software that will be install

dwm

dmenu

slstatus

st

Process

This script will install all you need to start with a new Linux system. Some distros need more software than other ones.

Here is a brief list of the software that will install:

xorg

xorg-server

xorg-fonts

lightdm

lightdm-mini-greeter (**Arch Linux**, **Debian**, **Void Linux**)

System Utilities

Libreries and all that stuffs

CLI Programs

alacritty (i like this terminal)

st (i like this one as well)

alacritty

ranger

vim

neofetch

GUI Programs

lxappearance

nitrogen

xfce4-porwer-manager

pcmanfm (that is what i like)

gimp

calibre

qutebrowser

Before you use the script, take a well look of it and change what ever you want to match your necesities for your own build.

Comments

There are similitudes in between distros but they are not alike.

When i install my systemen i like to install **dwm** for the default window manager, dwm integrates very well with any linux distribution. Then i install another window manager if i want to use another one in my system like **xmonad**, **qtile**, **spectrwm**, **i3**.
