I recently learned about this minimal windows manager and I thought it would be a good way to help speed up my pc. I can't seem to find any installer though and when I finally found the download link it gave me an unknown file.

can anyone offer advice on what I should do, I'm on hastal avista BTW

Just run the file, there is no chance there is anything bad in it. People wouldn't do that on the internet. Also don't forget to checkmark every field so you get all the useful additional software the bundle with it!

I tried looking up online on how to run one of these zg.rat. files and after about an hour of trying I managed to open the file with 7rar premium. now I apparently need to run bake but I have no idea how to do that. my wife suggested putting the computer in the oven; but do I put the entire computer in or just the screen, and what should I put the oven at and for how long do I need to wait?

175 degrees C for 12 minutes, or until the keycaps curl and the case is a nice golden brown

175 degrees C

Don't bake just the C drive smh, you gotta bake the whole thing. 175's not gonna cut it either, you gotta do it for at least 350 degrees.

do I need to preheat the oven and what number is that, I have a gas oven with settings from 1-9 or grill.

You gotta open the whole case so that the components inside bake nice and well. As for the monitor, see the little glass window? Pop that open too.

ok, opening the case was the easy part, had a friend come over for coffee today and we threw a crowbar and a hammer at it, it was a bit for work and it doesn't look like the intended way as once we got the top and front off it's right panel fell off too. for the glass window on the monitor I don't know how to pop that one open; but I assume having monitor settings open on windows is what you meant.

I also got a couple baking instructions from @[email protected] to bake it at 175°C for 12 minutes.

Windows already has a windows manager, it's called a Control panel

Glad I could help ☺️

so should I uninstall it before running dwm or can I run them side by side like they do withe the new settings app?
