Instead of typing:

systemctl enable <service>
you can type:
systemctl enable --now <service>

Scanned through multiple forums because my noob self couldn't figure out a way to install ms fonts, but your method was so easy. Thank You!

keep doing this vids man they help allot

[shiverj.]

Only watched the portion explaining how to set up bluetooth since it was all I needed, and it was super straight forward and easy to understand. Thanks a lot! <3

Thx for doing these after tutorials as well. Often the tutorials leaves you hanging after showing an install in a VM ending at the login screen prior to even adding networkmanager. Solid stuff man! If you havnt already covered it it might be worth mentioning and showing the extra stuff necessary for enabling TRIM on LUKS protected drives.

Great video, thanks!
Would be great if you continue this series, with more awesome suggestions and HowTo's, after install :)

Some other things I do after a fresh install:
gufw - as a firewall (not so needed, but makes me feel better)
timeshift - because I am a master in breaking linux beyond repair
I look at these logs at the end of installation, just to make sure..:
sudo systemctl --failed
sudo journalctl -p 3 -xbI
install pulse audio and configure it properly(?) (though, linux sound system Desperately Needs a rewrite from scratch, in my Humble opinion, it is long overdue! Something like what systemd did for init)
I copy the fonts from my win10 installation on the same machine.. I know, I shouldn't do that, but works fine for me

Edit: Will be great to see you Live on March 14th. I hope I can make it!

Thank you very much Sir!
Now I have printer added and can print things thanks to you 😊
Besides that, I've taken a look at channel and will be watching every single clip.
Your attitude and energy is phenomenal, way of explaing is also fantastic!
Please, keep making these Arch videos no matter what and how many views it gets because it helps out - big time!

Regarding the printer part, I wanted to ask you.
Whenever I print something it prints from the beginning (1st page) and not from the back (last page). When opening a document with Okular I have the ability to check the box for printing in Reverse.

Now my questions would be:
1. How to have this Reverse ticked on always - as a default?
2. If I were to enable Reverse in CUPS then I wouldn't care about the Okular or some other program.
In CUPS "Help" section there is a talk about "Specifying the Output Order" (-o outputorder=reverse). Can this line of code be inculed in some file so that it always prints in reverse? I've seen on the Web that people edit their .ppd files by adding this line of code: *DefaultOutputOrder: Reverse

I have tried this but it doesn't work for me.
I believe that this will also help other people out, so if you have the time and will to respond - thank you very much, what more can I tell you.

Wish you all the best and thanks once again for providing us with these quality videos and amazing energy and teaching.

😄

I have to thankyou. After the crash of win 8.1 on the Intel compute stick I now have arch with lxde.
Just have to do post install config.
I have to say your right menu step by step is fantastic.
I have to see if I can get Bluetooth for keyboard mouse.
Again thanks.

Great Tutorial again Ermanno. You are the best. Thank you! In german we say #Ehrenmann

[mitjapozar]

AFAIK you chose drivers for HP OJ PRO 8600 for your printer which is 8610 and it still worked.
