Booting into exwm?

[anthrolisp]

Do you boot directly into exwm? Do you use a window display manager with a defined exwm session? What's your setup? How do you start exwm? Thanks in advance!

Just add a "exec emacs" in your .xinitrc file. If you are using lightdm or something, google out

Awesome! Thanks! One more question: how to manage and monitor wifi/network from within EXWM? And also autostarting programs like Dropbox, etc. Thanks again for your help!

I use the NetworkManager command: nmtui, to lauch network manager inside of the ansi-term (or any terminal emulator really), pretty simple and intuitive to use but I'm still looking for a alternative more integrated to emacs.
The .xinitrc file I mentioned earlier is also used to autostart programs, just make sure to put their command before the 'exec emacs' line. My .xinitrc for example:

setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
xset r rate 200 50
compton -b
exec emacs

It only has compton as a startup program (Fixes EXWM screen tearing), the rest in just keyboard configuration. But you got the idea, just put the dropbox start command there.

I do exactly this.

I also add a little bit more to my .xinitrc, like starting redshift or similar but I do plan on migrating all of it to init.el eventually.

For wifi, I have nm do the stuff for me, with nmtui just like @MatheusArtur said.
