Ermanno, you absolutely ROCK for taking the time to do a video like this. It was because of your earlier videos that I became comfortable and successful with Arch in the first place. This video needs more exposure!

Your voice is sounding like your getting much better, I hope you feel the same and your health completely recovers, we all give dua ( pray) for your health. 😂 I forgot that Arch had the Dec iso out. Wasn't thinking about iso's been living in wm learning. I actually love it I'm in awesome 😎

did my first arch install a couple of hours ago in vm, went ok with a few hiccups at first

and now i can say: "btw I use arch" ;)

[nightwolf]

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain all the commands you used and how to use them, by doing this I have learned many things that I didn't know and also now understand things I've been told to do and just had to take is for face value, again thank you very much for the video

[swissmann]

a new Super Video to bring my Installation Script up to date. Thanks Ermanno!

This was the tutorial that filled in all the gaps and until now had held me back from exploring window managers with the locale keymap.
A suggestion for 2022: btrfs with subvolumes using Snapper and Snap-Pac.
Happy New Year Ermanno.

BRAVO. BRAVO. I now know a great deal more about Linux and Arch. I just wish I could remember all of that, once I start to install Arch. Maybe you could write a book about all of that? In any case - Great video.

[seanpaul]

Always appreciate the tutorial and detailed explanation. I learn a lot from these series about Linux and arch.

I am currently using endeavour os and also practice vanilla arch in virtual machine for experimenting.

Take care.

rly like ur channel. every wideo is not the same bcuse you showing more and more options for linux in command line :D we can teach linux from you. im been watch your wideo from start to end

[sergiomartinezjover]

thanks form Spain, you are a good teacher

17:47 an alternative way that I find more “memorable” is to run `timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Zurich` provided by systemd, rather than the wiki suggested way of using `ln` — since we already use timedatectl to look for time zones, it makes sense to set the time zone with the same tool as well.

A great installation video as always. I still feel more comfortable using this console based installation than the GUI one.

[NMYL]

Great video! Can you please look at making a video for Manjaro / Arch on the Raspberry Pi which looks at what optimisations users can make to a base install so as to get the most from the limited resources of the Pi. Which desktop gives the best performance etc etc. Yes, I know you don't install onto a raspberry pi in the same way as a traditional PC but it might make for a useful refference video.

[punkprincerebel]

Great video as always, but like others videos, i think new linux users needs a text guide also... ;)

[MohitKumar-drww]

I first wanted it do it on a Virtual Machine but on Ubuntu Virtual Box always gives the error whenever I run Arch on it.
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) first I will have to sort this out then I will follow your guide.

[MrStefanokj]

hey, how about making a video on how to change username? I saw that there is no video for arch :(
PS thanks for your amazing work

[Ja.KooLit]

Hi Ermanno, can you look at latest arch iso? I think they made changes on btrfs mounting option. I have a trouble and I am not smart enough to figure out the changes ha ha. So I downloaded the Nov iso and I installed arch on other system with mounting options that I got from you when you did with btrfs.

anyway, thanks alot and you really does help alot

[clevrfx]

had a problem with missing sed and while executing locale-gen and missing packages like pacman on the chroot environment
Fixed it by adding base packages while executing pacstrap command

[theseeker]

Ermano, Is it possible for you to review StomFish OS Arch Xfce version.

[barryjohnson]

Ermanno I want your opinion. I have found out that intel-ucode and amd-ucode are non libre so is necessary to install these packages ?
I tried parabola linux some time and i found out this packages are not present in it because they are not open source.
