After a Minimal Linux Install: Graphical Envionment and Users

[LukeSmithxyz]

I noticed there were a couple times where my webcam froze for a minute. Don't sweat it, it was a recording error, your computer isn't broken.

Arch, gentoo, and void as the pillar men cracked me up. Well done dude

This sounds like me back i n the 90s. I had bought a huge book about installing Redhat and following the instructions in the first 7 or 8 chapters, I managed to install a Redhat Linux terminal. "Now what?" I thought. I don't think I ever got beyond that.

Dude, i can't thank you enough. You explained things in such an easy to relate manner on topics that everyone makes so convoluted in the wiki or forums. I've been chasing exactly this content all day, a high level explanation in simple english about how these pieces (xorg, xinit, DM's, WM's) work together.

Once again Luke, you have shown me and taught me a huge amount of info. This (as well as your others) video is invaluable. You sir have such a great way to explain and teach. Thank you so very much.

[NautyEskimo]

wow really good tut. I have seen a lot of trash ones that assume way too much about the user. You are a great teacher.

Thank you so much for your videos! It is rare to have someone who knows what they are talking about while remembering what it means not to know these things! I am looking forward to install Arch and i3 on my new ThinkPad after 16 years of osx! Your videos help me being less scared and more curious!

I'd like to add that the locale is actually "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" (mind the '_' )
After changing the /etc/locale.conf, type in "sudo locale-gen", reboot & type in "locale". No errors should come up.

Not installing Arch, but still watching because of, well, learning :)
Thank you.

[arijitbhaumik]

thanks a lot for the video, I am installing arch by following along with your videos, just want to say at 10:58 the i3-status needs to be i3status

[nilz]

"distro reviews" would be very different than what we see now if Luke was going to do it.

[CRK]

Thank you very much for making this video ! I am new to Arch Linux（Linux）, your video helped me a lot, what you say makes it easy for me to understand, you should put all the videos into the learning series 😊

[adjbutler]

why is this not dark-mode friendly??? are your trying to make the next-generation of Linux users blind or something?

[elderberry-hamster]

Great tutorial on the topic. The tip to use a keyboard shortcut to open a terminal on the fly...very helpful. Always worth a look with your channel. Rudimentary topics such as shown in this video are really appreciated and I hope to see more. Thanks.

[coppereva]

Just wanted to drop a comment on how appreciative I am of this video. There are tons of videos on how to install Arch, but almost none on how to properly install a tiling window manager. Stuff like having to install fonts is not obvious at all, and most people somehow fail to mention it.

[antisaint]

I love minimal installs, theres too much bloatware on many systems especially if im making a server

[reverseila]

Thanks man!!! Learned so many things :D

[hineko_]

11:09 it's i3status (without dash)

[RamKumar-toip]

I hve been waiting for this.. thanks luke
