Resetting Arch Linux

Показать описание
In this video I am going to show you how you can "reset" Arch Linux to the base system if your system becomes unstable, or you want to change DE or WM (although it's possible to have multiple DE's and WM's in one installation). I wanted to use my personal project on GitLab as it contains all the packages I usually install in the base. The only data I changed are the passwords, which were replaced with "new" ones.

That was glorious...just glorious. What an absolutely kickass How-To video. Thank you once again, Ermanno!

Edit: You should be at 100k subscribers by now. WTF?!

Nice, very clean. I've changed DEs before, but doing it this way is much cleaner and faster.

I wanted to do this from time to time and i thought, if i would backup everything important, then i could just clean install... and that was what i did but back then, i could not find such a nice guide to follow! thanks!!

This tutorial is great! I can finally start my Arch Linux installation over again without even installing it again. Because I have been installing desktop environments and window managers so I could pick the one I want. (Which of course is a window manager I will not be saying for now.) And I wanted to clean up the installation because there were so much bloat that came with the desktop environments.

Very useful exercise and you set it up so well. Thank you.

For future use you installed the reflector package twice.
Honestly, you may want to keep it as you have, just for the pun ;)

This is exactly what I was looking for. So tired of reinstalling my system. I like to test out different things. Sometimes I need a method to reset arch. The wiki is there sure. However, the information can sometimes be a bit confusing. Also, I had found some of the data in the wiki outdated. Just a few things here and there.

I would copy my whole home directory to an external drive and then format my arch disk and reinstall it from scratch. Just to prevent clutter
