Slint is a 64 bit system. I want to use Debian 11 and Voxin on a older netbook which is 32 bit. I would be satisfied with a console only installation . Where is there more information on the GTK accessible greeter and does it work with Voxin in the console? --

Voxin in the Debian 11 console

What do we need to do to get Voxin to work in the Debian 11 console? It works great in the GUI desktop. The last Debian version where Voxin worked in the console correctly was in Debian 7. I can get it to work in later versions in a console only installation, but it doesn't work correctly.
