Arch Linux: Getting Started With Fish

[@wardyra]

You have some of the best tutorials I've ever seen on KZbin. Clear, concise and easy to follow. I hope your channel really takes off!

[@eflinux]

Thanks Ward!

[@youssefbouzidi4672]

Man you are making excellent tutorials...saving hours and hours of hard work....thanks

[@ilbarsozturk]

Nice guide Ermanno, thanks.

[@eflinux]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! The second part comes in Thursday:)

[@marvicdigital]

Good video as always, you make each command simple and very understandable ... thanks for teaching us. I will wait for your next video to see if I go fishing. :-)

[@eflinux]

Thanks! Next video coming in Thursday:)

[@youssefbouzidi4672]

I did the zsh ...works amazing 👏 👌

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

Thanks for this Ermanno :)

[@eflinux]

You’re welcome!

[@taidee]

It's a pity that it is not Posix compliant because it's on the fly configuration looks convenient. Thank you Ermanno for another clear and well made tutorial, I had never taken a look at fish before.

[@eflinux]

Thanks! Yeah that’s its downside, but the main functionality can be achieved by using it as an interactive shell.

[@leythecg]

really great content! Many, many thanks!

[@podakira]

Hi! i'm new in your channel! thank you for all your jobs :)

[@eflinux]

Hey thanks for being here!! And welcome!

[@ProEloVek-om3gz]

The number of subscribers is growing inexorably. This means that the video on the channel is relevant and interesting. But I want to see a video about your plans for the future of the channel. What is new to appear or not to appear , what topics will still be covered in the future. Can you give us a look at this "list" 😊

[@eflinux]

Actually it’s something I thought doing when reaching 5’000, so very soon :)

[@ProEloVek-om3gz]

Great :)

[@bloggs210]

Hey Ermanno. Loving your videos. I'm now an Arch user thanks to you.! Do you have any plans to do a tutorial on how to save dotfiles in Git/Stow?

[@eflinux]

Hi Jason! Thanks! This is a good point. I never thought on doing that until now, but I see the news for that. I’ll look into it.

[@vladlu6362]

Cool. So, if I wanted to use it with zsh as the background shell, I could just do exec fish for it to be the interactive. Though, I might still keep zsh, I'm getting fond of config files.

[@eflinux]

I think I’d keep zsh in your case, otherwise you might end up with doubled functionality.

[@codeitlikemiley]

better to use starship than oh-my-zsh or oh-my-fish shells.... i promise you will really like it ,and on top of that it is very performant compare to Oh-my- plus powerlevel 9k or 10k theme. less bloat

[@eflinux]

I'll make sure I check those too. Thanks!

[@codeitlikemiley]

Its made in Rust so... With safety and performance in mind...

[@aliencreation8744]

thankyou errmano how do i use the terminal to quickly switch back to bash?

[@Landlordtipper35]

Can you show compiling custom arch kernels

[@eflinux]

Eventually in the future :)

EF - Tech Made Simple than you, great videos

[@chankswedde142]

Thank you sir very help full

[@eflinux]

My pleasure!

[@DavidHaras]

I am a bit late to this one Ermanno, however, how simple is fish to setup. Great video as always, I love zsh but I will be testing fish out for the foreseeable.

[@teckness3456]

So, for clarification as I’m a beginner in Linux, a terminal emulator and a shell are two different things right? For instance, I could use the fish shell with the kitty terminal on arch Linux?

[@t1kt0k_gaming]

where can I find this / these wallpapers?

[@EarlZMoade]

How is adding exec fish to bashrc different to using chsh?

[@eflinux]

As per the Arch Wiki, using chsh changes the shell system wide, while exec fish leave Bash as a system shell but gives the possibility to interact with fish.

[@jitendergola3277]

Sir please made a video on fingerprint gui installation on arch

[@eflinux]

Once I will have a laptop with that feature I will. Until then I can’t.

Laptop? What DE and what chip?

[@hugusACFgugaefgo]

Can you do a tutorial on vim?

[@eflinux]

That’s a great suggestion, I’ll add it to the list :)

[@vladlu6362]

Maybe you should join the church of Emacs... Trust me, doom emacs is the best thing that happened to me in a while... Plus it uses vim shortcuts anyway!!

[@eflinux]

Or can do a tutorial for both ;)

[@himanshuverma9324]

Plz make a video for Bluetooth driver install and use of Bluetooth in arch linux ...

[@eflinux]

Install bluez and bluez-utils. The start the service.

You can add and pair a device as you normally would. Just reset your bluetooth device so that it can be detected.

I installed fish. It's nice, I like it. But I've got two problems. 1. When I enter fish_config, I've got in my terminal: Refresh (0 sec) localhost:8000/590bd9 (and many numbers,letters/ Start the fish Web config. At the bottom of the terminal is arrows up and down and "Viewing And no browser... What's wrong? 2. Every time when I start my laptop I have to type startx. Where I should enter this command so that my system will start automatically as it was before I installed fish? Thank you! :)

[@eflinux]

Hi! I am not sure I fully understand the question. Why do you have to type startx? Are you using a WM?

[@marol75-l2h]

@@eflinux Yes, I'm using i3wm.

[@marol75-l2h]

@@eflinux I tried to start in terminal "fish_config" but there were no menu, which you had shown in your nice and informative video-tutorial. I just described in details what I had instead of it. That's why I'm asking: What's wrong I did and what I should do to have menu with fish settings as you had? I tried to open in my vivaldi browser that localhost:8000/590bd9*****, but it didn't open.

[@eflinux]

I am not sure if it has to do with xorg. Have you installed the whole group or only some packages?

[@marol75-l2h]

@@eflinux I installed fish according to your tutorial. As for xorg - I think I installed whole group. I installed everything according to your tutorials about installing and configuring i3wm.
