 I won't mention specialized software, like Blender, Krita, OBS or Godot, or even Thunderbird. If you need them, you probably know it and they don't belong on every user desktop.
 I run debian, but almost **any linux distribution will do**.

 ===== Window manager =====
-  * **[[https://github.com/qtile/qtile#readme|Qtile]]** is my window manager of choice. It's a modern, simple, automatic [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiling_window_manager|tiling WM]], very hackable, written and configured in python, that's available for both X11 and Wayland. It comes with a great built-in bar, and widgets for almost everything you may need for a regular desktop experience. It provides a large number of automatic layouts, including the classic master/stack, and it's scratchpad is the best implementation i've used

   * **[[https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm#readme|Bspwm]]** is also a very good choice if you value simplicity. It's configured in bash (or any other script langage you like) and is very minimalist
-  * I manage most of my keyboard shortcuts in [[https://github.com/baskerville/sxhkd#readme|sxhkd]]. This is required in bspwm, but also work wonderfully with any other window manager. Have a look [[https://github.com/isingasimplesong/dotfiles/tree/main/sxhkd|at my config]] to see how i manage to maintain a common sxhkd file compatible with every WM i want, by separating [[https://github.com/isingasimplesong/dotfiles/blob/main/qtile/keys.py|specific window management shortcuts]] from [[https://github.com/isingasimplesong/dotfiles/blob/main/sxhkd/sxhkdrc_common|generic user shortcuts]]. Sxhkd is awesome, lightweight, portable, and provide advanced shortcuts management, like keychords and a powerful syntax

   * [[https://github.com/yshui/picom|Picom]] is a window compositor for X11. It provide nice eyecandy, animations, blur and other rounded corners to your windows. I use it  to slightly dim unfocused windows, and easily focus on my main task
+===== Session manager =====
+If you need one, [[https://github.com/canonical/lightdm#lightdm-display-manager|lightdm]] is perfectly capable and lightweight. If you don't need the additional functions, or the eyecandy, the ''starx'' command is perfectly fine
 ===== Application launcher =====
 I use **[[https://github.com/davatorium/rofi#-rofi-|rofi]]** as an application launcher. It's like dmenu on steroids, with full compatibility, easier configuration and customization. But you'll still want to bind your most used applications to direct keyboard shortcuts and keep that launcher for applications that you don't want to waste keyboard real estate for.
+===== Notifications =====
+[[https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst#dunst|Dunst]] is a graphical, lightweight and customizable notifications deamon
 ===== Terminal, shell & co. =====
 **[[https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/|Kitty]]** is a modern, multi-plateform, GPU accelerated, capable of displaying ligatures, links, emoticons and images, and including splits, panes, tabs and session management. Some may prefer [[https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty#readme|alacritty]] or [[https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/index.html|wezterm]], but i find kitty more powerfull
-Despite the session management features included in kitty, i still prefer to use [[https://github.com/tmux/tmux#welcome-to-tmux|tmux]] as a terminal multiplexer

 I pair it with [[https://www.zsh.org/|zsh]], cause it has better autocompletion than the standard GNU [[https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/|bash]], while still being 100% POSIX compliant, unlike [[https://fishshell.com/|fish]]

 Finally, i pimp my prompt with [[https://starship.rs/|starship]], that provide nice customization and icons for git and code repositories

   * I also use [[https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/start|thunar]], the xfce file browser, when i need a graphical one. It can perfectly run outside of xfce, integrate well with my mostly GTK desktop, and provide handy tools for volumes management. You could also use [[https://github.com/lxde/pcmanfm|Pcmanfm]], that's slightly different, but still GTK, lightweight and independent
