Another Distro and WM Update

My most recent Linux distribution and Window Manager change was back in December when I landed on Debian Testing running OpenBox for my Window Manager.

I ran in to a couple of Debian update issues recently which required me to roll back to a prior kernel. Whilst I resolved that issue, I decided to look at some alternative distros and reconsider my use of WM.

I ran openSUSE Tumbleweed for a month-or-so. It was fine, but I had an issue with LightDM where I was unable to choose alternative WMs from the menu (OpenBox, Qtile, Xfce). I was stuck with OpenBox. Clearly I could disable LightDM and use startx, but it was less than ideal.
