A new install with Trixie

Intentions

I have an old ThinkCentre M73, not super powerful;  Intel Core i5-4570T Processor, 250G hard drive and 8G memory.

I need low resource apps and tools.

The install

Starting with a basic netinst install of trixie and then the following packages:

• neovim

I'm not a fan of nano.

• awesome
• awesome-extra
• xorg

The awesome Windows Manager, with very VIM-like key bindings.

• arandr

to manage the displays

• luakit

Browser, also with very VIM-like key bindings.

• terminator

I have never tried this terminal emulator before and have heard good things, so thought I'd give it a go in this install.

• alsa-utils

for handling sound easily.

• wine

I enjoy playing DiscworldMUD and Quow has modified MUSHClient with some excellent and indespensable pluggins sadly MUSHClient is windows only.

I lament Quow not working with the excellent Mudlet for his plugins, which I use to use but appreciate his hardwork.

• git 

to install some drivers for the wavlink dock I use.

`apt install neovim awesome awesome-extra luakit xorg terminator alsa-utils git wine`

Boot to my user and start the windows manager

`sudo systemctl edit getty@.service` to create a drop-in unit at /etc/systemd/system/getty@.service.d/override.conf with the following contents:

[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty --noclear --autologin keith %I $TERM
I then ran
`sudo systemctl enable getty@tty1.service`

I added `startx`to the bottom of my .profile file in my home directory.

Using a decent editor ;) 
`sudo update-alternatives --config editor`

Install and configure the drivers for the dock

git clone https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian.git
cd displaylink-debian
sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh

running xrandr --listproviders did no showed me any more than the one provider, 
which meant that the drivers were not active.
vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-displaylink.conf
an replaced th content with the following and rebooted:
Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier  "DisplayLink"
    MatchDriver "evdi"
    Driver      "modesetting"
    Option      "AccelMethod" "none"
EndSection
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 2 0
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 3 0
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 4 0
I configured the displays with arandr, don't forget to activate the dispalys you need in the Outputs drop down.

Shortcuts

Terminator is a bit long to type every time I want a terminal, which I do often.
