# Don't thank me - this is all thanks to Adam Thompson here:
https://hackeradam.com/post/install-dwm-ubuntu-20.10/

# Just the commands - left out the 'why' for Grepper brevity!
Setting up DWM on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libx11-dev libxinerama-dev sharutils suckless-tools libxft-dev stterm
cd /usr/local/src
sudo wget http://dl.suckless.org/dwm/dwm-6.2.tar.gz
sudo tar xvzf dwm-6.2.tar.gz
chown -R `id -u`:`id -g` dwm-6.2
cd dwm-6.2/
sudo make clean install
sudo apt-get install dwm
sudo cp /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop{,.bak}
sudo apt-get purge dwm
sudo mv /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop{.bak,}

# From my own experience…
# Click the username to get the password prompt. That will display the sessions cog at the bottom right of the login screen.
# Click the cog to change to dwm.
