Thank you so much, I got my config file and xsessions working now! I
installed qtile with pip, and all the files went to the ~/.local/
directory, In that directory, there is /bin with some of the qtile
commands, and a /lib directory with everything else. I had already added
the /bin directory to PATH in my bashrc, but using a direct path fixed it.
Now my problem is getting applications to run on startup. In my
~/.config/qtile directory I created autostart.sh, which I also added to my
config file, but it doesn't seem to work. This is the output I get:
2020-04-19 20:17:14,404 libqtile hook.py:fire():L373 Error in hook

And here is my autostart.sh file:
#!/bin/sh
feh --bg-scale ~/Pictures/Personal/Photos/2017/June/3/wallpaper.jpg &
redshift-gtk &Enter code here...
The script works fine on its own, it's just getting it to start up. Do I
need to give PATH to the ~/.local/lib directory?
Again, thanks for everything. Let me know if it would have been better to
start a new thread.
