Looks like there's some serious demand for L1Linux content Wendel :D :D :D

[stephenreaves]

I think Wendell tracks my search history and makes videos on whatever problem I can't figure out at the time

[laloajuria]

I will use none of this....watched it all....10/10

[blackmennewstyle]

We, the people, demand more content on the Level1Linux Youtube channel <3

[johncnorris]

Knowing how to use grub2 is a dark art.

[XrXz]

Hey Wendel, long time watcher here, love your content. Please, please, please do a vid on installing arch with lvm (including raid and cache) and luks encryption with multiple drives on mbr or even efi. It feels like I've been banging my head against a brick wall for over a week now trying this. The arch wiki doesn't fully describe the process and neither does any online tutorial I've looked at so far.

I remember those days when I had a sata HDD but my pendrive was broke. But I needed my distro hopping fix. So I used those cryptic chain loading grub commands to boot the image from a partition in my HDD. I have since controlled my hopping addictions.

Excelente guía, muchas gracias. Excellent guide, thank you very much. Abrazos desde Argentina.

[dmoneyballa]

thanks, this is actually really helpful was about to do this now that I bought a lenovo thinkstation with 3rd gen threadripper on discount

[bitelogger]

NVME for data....what did you specter for Wafles hahahahaha good one bro! That's why I love this channel

[dipi]

I like it minimalistic: exactly 1 primary MBR partition of ext4, properly aligned on my internal SSD.
No swap. No EFI/fat32 cockamamie. System boots in 1.2s—1.3s from BIOS to KDE/Plasma with network (static IPv4, systemd-networkd).
No need to even have a single fstab entry anymore because GRUB2 provides my kernel with the correct combo of BOOT_IMAGE, root and rootflags arguments.
Doing a backup is as easy as copying one partition, which I do monthly.

[MorkaiAU]

NGL waffles sound pretty good right now. Thanks Wendell.

I am curious to know - Which Video Editor You Use On Linux to end these crisp videos ?

[pausantandreu]

So cool you made a vid to solve a forum case scenario

[DjayEpizode]

That great it memind me back in the day to the gentoo how< to that learn you a ton about how to manipulate the make the linux kernel via makemenu config .... nostalgia

[FredsTech]

Hi Wendal! Do you have a script when you do this kind of video? If so, do you weight it yourself?

[gugolple]

Could you do the same with lvm? If i remember correctly it uses md underneath, in my experience it has less trouble with disk if for whatever reason the swap places, and it gives you a lot of flexibility, especially as you said, if you distro hop you can make extend and reduce the raid partitions. I would love to know if i am wrong in what and why.

[MegaAshabasha]

RAID, RAID against the dying of the (RGB) light...

[richardhoran]

Or you can use the GUI to set up the raid with the minimal installer using manual partitioning. Easy.

[papodaca]

If ubuntu server supports this better then just use that and install the ubuntu-desktop meta package after the initial install. Also ubuntu server uses the text based installer you were asking for.
