Thank you for sharing your configuration with EXWM. I added the LXQt service to my config because at this point I would be happy to have any type of desktop or window manager if I could start X. However I do not even get to the point where there is a graphical login prompt or selection of window manager or desktop environment. I am still just getting a blinking cursor on tty7.
