dwm alternatives (suppo.fi)

So I'm using dwm as an interface for Proxmox currently, but here's my gripes.

  1. Config requires rebuilding.
  2. Hotkeys seem to break for no reason*, last when I created a new user for controlling proxmox.
  3. No real mouse controls for stuff.

Now I realize dwm is mostly a keyboard focused window manager.*

For context, proxmox runs on debian, but doesn't necessarily support everything properly (ie plasma has heavy visual glitching from something).

Proxmox is meant to be an appliance. Meaning, you shouldn’t mess with the base OS .

If you want a desktop it might be better to make a dedicated VM in proxmox for it.

Probably shouldn't, no.

But I have no other way to use proxmox.

Sure I can use tty to achieve some of the stuff, but that's it.

Dwm is needed to properly configure Proxmox from the Web UI.
