StormOS Is A Beginner Friendly Arch Based Distro

StormOS is a beginner friendly distribution based on Arch Linux, which offers an easy installation process, a full suite of software, and a few custom shell scripts to help new Arch users. StormOS offers two desktop editions: Xfce and KDE. Today, I'm taking a first look at their Xfce edition.

Your support is very much appreciated. Thanks, guys!

I think the "install" alias is potentially unsafe. It only does "pacman -S" and the Manjaro wiki says you should never install a package without updating ("pacman -Syu").

Videos like this keep me distro hopping!

Been using StormOS xfce for 7 or 8 months now. I absolutely love it.

I have to say, it's a crime your channel ONLY has 170K subscribers! Your channel is a treasure trove of amazing information!

Very nice os review. It has all the necessary apps for standard workflow and the cherry on top which is arch.

[Kaoklaiporpuramuk]

I'm gonna install it myself to check it, looks sweet to be honest.
Thnx for the review

This must be the new and improved Storm Trooper, he can aim!

@3:25 Please don't confuse newbies! I'm sure you already know that root and each user's passwords are independent. sudo uses the user's password to perform commands with the same level as root, as long as the user belongs to the root group. Otherwise, thanks for the nice review!

Just set this up on a older desktop PC to become my daily driver and I'm liking it a lot so far.

I am proud of Ben. Me and Ben use to stay up all night doing LFS and Gentoo and Arch making are own builds all the time. Ben nose his arch builds inside out.

I'm a bit confused about Lutris being in the non-free apps section in the installation. I just checked and Lutris is licensed under GPL-3 license.

It took me two minutes to realize you were talking about StormOS and not SteamOS

My first thought was, "Why does that stormtrooper have an AR-15?" too. From I can see of it, it looks baller. Now, I want to do another AR mod.

Every time I check out a new distro in a VM, the first thing I do is checkout all the wallpapers and copy all of them to my wallpapers collection thumb drive. I don’t know why, but I’ve always done that since I’ve been messing around with Linux.

Hey DT, I really like this. I'm wondering, how reliable can iso's from sourceforge be? I am avoiding iso's that rely on sourceforge because I don't trust the site but would love if I could be able to at least verify the iso files.

I just emailed the creators of the Distro and asked what that program "axecl8" was for... they responded: " It’s for acceleration of downloads from any file on the browser ". So mystery solved.... we now know what it does- it is a file download accelerator!

Downloading the updates in pacman (like in 20:18) could run a lot quicker if the "Parallel Downloads" option was enabled by default.

I'm on pop os right now, going to try storm os this weekend hopefully
