Development

1. On Linux you can enter another session using Ctrl+Alt+F{3,4,5,...}.
2. Once in a new session, log into it and go to the project root.
3. Run RUST_BACKTRACE=full ./run.sh 2&>run.log
   • This runs xorg through xinit followed by the window manager
   • It also logs all the errors and the backtrace to a new file run.log which is placed in the project root
