# aarch64dwm
|
||
|
||
aarch64dwm is a customized clone of [dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org/), specifically tailored for **AArch64 (ARM64) devices**, including the **Raspberry Pi** and compatible operating systems. It retains all the core functionality of the original dwm but includes minor adaptations for better compatibility on ARM-based hardware.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
- Lightweight and minimal tiling window manager
|
||
- Optimized for **AArch64** architecture
|
||
- Compatible with **Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)** and other ARM64-based Linux distributions
|
||
- Custom additions for improved hardware compatibility
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
### Prerequisites
|
||
Ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed:
|
||
```sh
|
||
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y xorg libx11-dev libxft-dev libxinerama-dev
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Cloning and Compiling
|
||
```sh
|
||
git clone https://github.com/your-repo/aarch64dwm.git
|
||
cd aarch64dwm
|
||
make
|
||
sudo make install
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Running aarch64dwm
|
||
To start **aarch64dwm**, add the following line to your `.xinitrc`:
|
||
```sh
|
||
exec dwm
|
||
```
|
||
Then, start X:
|
||
```sh
|
||
startx
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Configuration
|
||
Like the original **dwm**, customization is done via modifying `config.h` and recompiling:
|
||
```sh
|
||
vim config.h # Make necessary changes
|
||
make && sudo make install
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Keybindings
|
||
(Default dwm keybindings apply)
|
||
- `Mod + Shift + Enter` – Open terminal
|
||
- `Mod + p` – dmenu (application launcher)
|
||
- `Mod + Shift + c` – Close window
|
||
- `Mod + 1-9` – Switch between workspaces
|
||
- `Mod + Shift + q` – Quit X session
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
- aarch64dwm does **not** introduce significant changes to the original **dwm**.
|
||
- This version is mainly for ensuring smoother operation on **Raspberry Pi OS** and similar ARM64 distributions.
|
||
- Consider using a **lightweight status bar** like `slstatus` for system information.
