NOTE: at 22.00 the square bracket refers to the top and last of the group, not as shown in the video.

In this video, I am going to go through the installation of Qtile on Arch Linux and its basic configuration and customization.

This channel is going to fill many holes in my knowledge, for which I am grateful, thank you :) I watched 4 channel videos already this morning

[pscoriae]

Just wanted to say thank you Ermanno! Your Arch Linux systemd boot tutorial was really helpful and easy to follow. I also liked that you explained what each step was for :)

Thank you. Perfect timing as I am switching to qtile from XFCE

[braiinworms]

Just what I was looking for!! I’m joining on Patreon now, you’re the best!!

[drewzilla]

Was considering qtile as my main wm until I saw your videos on bspwm and the customization bar. Look forward to a similar video for qtile

[吳炯仁]

really looking forward to the groups tutorial, after using Qtile for a while, still something to learn.

As I supposed, a fulfillness and a documentation are keys to success. Qtile so far seems the most interesting tiling manager. Thank you that shared it with us.
PS It seems a good idea to close a bracket (and a quote) just after an opening one is typed in.

Thank you! Been waiting for this. Can't wait for the other video.

Nice Ermanno, very nice. Qtile is my favorite WM, it's great to see you do some work on it, looking forward to the future videos. I like Qtile because it is relatively easy to install and doesn't come with loads of dependencies like Xmonad does, it also spawns windows in the way that is perfect for my workflow.

I am so happy I have found your channel :-))) ! Thank you for your work!

[pawouapproval]

bro thanks so much this fixed an issue I was having with things not being displayed properly!!!!

[Whylde-Tech]

Lovely video! I'm building a new PC and this video has made me want to try Qtile on my Arch install.

[nicoandresrodriguez]

Great help to the community, thank you!

Very nice intro to Qtile Wm.
Really appreciate the info on widgets, which I had not yet fully understood - thank you.
Would like to see what you may come up with once you get some python skills (ps I havent got any lol).
One thing that Awesome Wm does that Qtile Wm does not, afaik, is it puts a nice border around the active window - now Qtile does do this, but on my set-up, for reasons I don't know about, not around the chrome browser window. The active border is a nice feature becasue it shows you where you are working, but in Qtile does not show when the chrome window is selected.
Nice work, thank you :)
BTW I think I prefer Qtile Wm becasue the documentation looks complete, and I too when I get time am trying to learn python. Also I find Awesome Wm documentation sparse as a non programer, especially becasue it lacks the examples I have been looking for.

Qtile looks very interesting and I love Ur videos alot ☺️

[Appalling]

Not sure how I feel about tile managers, but a thoroughly informative and well done video nonetheless. Thank you!

[whoisYoges]

Thanks ermano.
Your one of the best and my favorite arch linux guide/ tutor.
Would you mind making a video on how to configure system tray on dwm (like seen in manjaro i3).

very educative and informative, thank you!

[nogz]

Thanks a lot Ermanno, I was able to setup qlite in arch VM, I had some issues but not impossible!

[aindvr]

Thank for the video Ermanno. Have you covered Rofi on the channel? I can't seem to find it. Please do a video on how to set it up and configure themes, etc.
