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 a 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:
- Arch Linux - >
- Debian ->
- Official Guide Debian is very easy to install.
- Void Linux ->
This is the script i use in my post installation. I use it for this Linux Distros:
- Arch Linux
- Debian
- 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)
This is the suckless software that will be install
- dwm
- dmenu
- slstatus
- st
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, Void Linux)

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.
