I really wanted to put this on the Tutorial page, but it says I need to be a different level than what I am right now. (BTW - if this violates the rules and has to be removed, I won’t complain, I get it, rules are there for a reason 
).
For anyone looking to install a non-standard WM (EXWM…etc…) these are the steps that worked for me on Garuda Linux x86_64, 6.7.9-zen1-1-zen to install EXWM as my desktop.
Software requirement
-
Emacs (My current version is 29.1)
(You can download whatever software your WM is going to be here, if it isn’t Emacs)
-
Picom (this is optional, as picom is a compositor for X11 {basically, it lets you have transparent or opaque windows}
-
Feh (again, optional - I used it to set up my background image)
-
Polybar (this is also optional, I use it for a toolbar on top)
First steps
-
Download Emacs. Once it’s downloaded, run it and click on Options → Manage Emacs Packages and scroll down to find EXWM. Left click it an install it. (It won’t run automatically, it needs to be scripted, so don’t worry, nothing will change just yet !)
-
Download Picom, Feh and Polybar (again, these are optional, you don’t NEED them for EXWM, but they do make it look nicer)
-
Setup Picom: {this is optional } Picom requires scripting to work, it’s not too difficult, belive it or not. It actually comes with a file called picom.conf.sample that you can use for guidance. In you home directory, enter the .config directory, create a directory called picom, as picom’s going to look for the config file it needs there. Inside the picom directory, you can copy the picom.conf.sample and rename it as picom.conf. My picon.conf (which includes rounded windows) currently is:

# Window type settings

# "splash", "dialog", "normal", "dropdown_menu", "popup_menu",
# "tooltip", "notification", "combo", and "dnd".
#
# Following per window-type options are available: ::
#
# fade, shadow:::
# Controls window-type-specific shadow and fade settings.
#
# opacity:::
# Controls default opacity of the window type.
#
# focus:::
# Controls whether the window of this type is to be always considered focused.
# (By default, all window types except "normal" and "dialog" has this on.)
#
# full-shadow:::
# Controls whether shadow is drawn under the parts of the window that you
# normally won't be able to see. Useful when the window has parts of it
# transparent, and you want shadows in those areas.
#
# clip-shadow-above:::
# Controls whether shadows that would have been drawn above the window should
# be clipped. Useful for dock windows that should have no shadow painted on top.
#
# redir-ignore:::
# Controls whether this type of windows should cause screen to become
# redirected again after been unredirected. If you have unredir-if-possible
# set, and doesn't want certain window to cause unnecessary screen redirection,
# you can set this to `true`.
#
wintypes:
{
tooltip = { fade = true; shadow = true; opacity = 0.75; focus = true; full-shadow = false; };
dock = { shadow = false; clip-shadow-above = true; }
dnd = { shadow = false; }
popup_menu = { opacity = 0.8; }
dropdown_menu = { opacity = 0.8; }
};
Basically, I’m telling it to use rounded windows and make my windows opaque (not transparent, but opaque)
-
Setup Feh {this is optional too}: Feh doesn’t need scripting , per se, but, it does create a file called .fehbg in your home directory. Open it up with your favorite editor and make sure it does NOT have the line –no-fehbg, if it does change that to –bg-center so that feh WILL display your chosen image as the background, other wise it will not do so no matter what command you issue to it.
-
Setup polybar {this is optional as well}: Polybar allows you to have a toolbar either on the bottom or the top of the screen, and to be honest, it’s a bit better than what can be done currently in Emacs, so I prefer it. It does require scripting.
Go into the .config directory in your home directory and create a directory named polybar. Polybar has a file (usually in the /usr/share directory called config.ini.sample, or something like that, you can copy that into that directory if you’d like (but DO rename it to “config.ini”) . Refer to it’s github site for example configurations and documentation on all of it’s features.
The configuration’s not too difficult and again, I’ll share my configuration:

- Setup EXWM: In order for Emacs to become EXWM, there’s some scripting that needs to be done. [Configuration Example · emacs-exwm/exwm Wiki · GitHub](https://EXWM’s github) has an example configuration that you can use.
I’ll share my configuration as well, be aware, it’s long as it’s got more than just a few custom features including org mode enabled automatically, hunspell (for spell checking) , Dired (Emac’s file manger), I also have org-tree-slide (which allows me to display presentations, similar to Libre office’s Impress, and a few other things as well.
