-#+title: How to Disable or Change the Display Manager on Void Linux
-#+date: 2022-10-30
-
-** Display Manager Services
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: display-manager-services
-:END:
-In order to change the
-[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_manager][display manager]] on
-Void Linux - or any other Linux distro - you need to identify the
-currently enabled display manager.
-
-*** Disabling the Current Display Manager
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: disabling-the-current-display-manager
-:END:
-Void Linux only has one ISO available for download with a pre-built
-display manager at the time of this post: the XFCE ISO. If you've
-installed this version, the pre-assigned display manager is =lxdm=. If
-you installed another display manager, replace =lxdm= in the following
-command with the display manager you have installed.
-
-To disable =lxdm=, simply remove the service symlink:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-sudo rm /var/service/lxdm
-#+end_src
-
-*** Enabling a New Display Manager
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: enabling-a-new-display-manager
-:END:
-If you want to enable a new display manager, you can do so after =lxdm=
-is disabled. Make sure to replace =<new_display_manager>= with your new
-DM, such as =gdm=, =xdm=, etc.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-sudo ln -s /etc/sv/<new_display_manager> /var/service
-#+end_src
-
-** Set Up =.xinitrc=
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: set-up-.xinitrc
-:END:
-Depending on your setup, you may need to create a few X files, such as
-=~/.xinitrc=. For my personal set-up, I created this file to launch the
-i3wm as my desktop.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-nano ~/.xinitrc
-#+end_src
-
-#+begin_src sh
-#!/bin/sh
-
-exec i3
-#+end_src
-
-If you run a desktop other than i3, simply replace =i3= with the shell
-command that launches that desktop.
-
-** Set Up Your Shell Profile
-:PROPERTIES:
-:CUSTOM_ID: set-up-your-shell-profile
-:END:
-Finally, in order to automatically launch an X session upon login, you
-will need to edit the =.bash_profile= (bash) or =.zprofile= (zsh) files
-for your shell:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-nano ~/.zprofile
-#+end_src
-
-Add the following snippet to the end of the shell profile file. This
-will execute the =startx= command upon login.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-if [ -z "${DISPLAY}" ] && [ "${XDG_VTNR}" -eq 1 ]; then
- exec startx
-fi
-#+end_src
-
-Alternatively, you can ignore this step and simply choose to manually
-execute =startx= upon login. This can be useful if you have issues with
-your desktop or like to manually launch different desktops by choice.
