Hey, I just installed arch on my laptop. It went pretty smooth.

you have no idea what you want
>without any graphical interfaces.
>where you only use your console to open programs in another window
if theres a window then you've got a window manager
if there's a window manager there's a graphical interface

I'm pretty new to this, so I really have no clue.

Is there any extremely lightweight window manager (i3 should be pretty lightweight, or is this wrong?)

I guess the easiest way to describe what I want is "No desktop environment".

>without the need to ever touch my trackpad.
alt/win + d opens dmenu, allowing you to open any programs you want from the keyboard.
alt/win(+shift) + hjkl|1234... move focus between windows, allow you to rearrange windows and switch between desktops.
Honestly, i3 lets you do everything via keyboard shortcuts, you just need to look it up.

Why not fullscreen terminal on boot you tryhard

>>57143198
I'm not a tryhard. I'm a noob that wants to be tryhard.

Also that's what I do at the moment.

>>57142923
I don't know why, but the shortcuts did not work for me :(

>>57142802
tmux sessions in the CLI might be what you want.

THIS is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks a lot!

this might be the king of noob-questions, but how do I get completely rid of i3? Everytime I start arch it goes directly into x and loads i3.

>>57143272
so just remove Xorg, reboot and profit

>>57143468
pacman -Rs <package> should remove it completely and all packages that depend on it that aren't required by any other packages, I suggest reading the wiki, it's a good source of information.

>>57143513
I'm at it :)

Thanks for your help, that all I needed to know.

Try framebuffer browsers, video and music players. And combine it with tmux
