DWM Guide | Arch Linux Ricing | I Use Arch BTW
In this dwm tiling window manager guide & episode of I Use Arch BTW, we're going to be ricing dwm. This tutorial is part of a series with the sole purpose of teaching people how to use Arch Linux & create an aestheticly pleasing (riced) tiling window manager. Does anyone actually read this lol?

Well these two videos from you turned me from feeling like ricing is too overwhelming for me to do, to ricing an arch vm I just installed yesterday with dwm in a few hours. It's taken me more than a year to get around to rice dwm. When I first tried around summer 2021 I barely got dwm working out the box, then Idk what I did but I broke that vm and just gave up after a few other fails. This time around I decided to watch someone do it instead of reading from the wiki and just trying to figure it out by myself and I managed to do it lol. Thank you for the video!

[@sprtwlf9314]

One of the best easy to understand dwm rice guide out there. Thanks.

[@blinkanddie3397]

I feel so overwhelmed not being a coder myself, but this is incredible to see.

[@melanovapedia7924]

thanks Satori, great guide. I decide to follow your guide, simple and work.

[@MartinErman]

Hey, really appreciate these types of videos.

[@trevorsatori]

Glad you found value in it, thanks for watching

[@MartinErman]

@@trevorsatori It would be awesome if you could make a video on when patching goes boom and doesnt work :p I've been trying to get some patches working together, but no matter how I try I cant get it to work. Some patches remove stuff in dwm.c that other patches need and so on. I always end up going back to dwm-flexipatch, sadly.

[@viktor133100]

I don't use Arch BTW. But your vdo's are very helpful for setting up DWM.

[@xtheoyt]

Hey ! Do u plan add new videos ? It turned out that I really enjoy watching your productions!

[@trevorsatori]

I really appreciate that, thanks! I have a few ideas in the works but have been extremely busy with school. Currently in senior year at University and doing artificial intelligence research. Is there anything in specific you'd like to see?

[@Swezzy0001]

[@trevorsatori]

@@Swezzy0001 Go for it.

Man, picom is destroying my fps in games. Is there a way to mitigate that ?

[@mr__doki]

hey your videos are very helpfull! keep up the good work! i just wanted to ask could you do AI aimbot video but with yolov7 that's the newest version of yolo!

[@vali69]

I'm back again here to comment because, after doing everything exactly the same with the exception of adding zsh and powerlevel10k for more terminal bling, it seems there's a memory leak happening in the xorg server because it's steadily filling up all the allocated ram I set up for the vm. And when it gets close to completely filling all my ram, the xorg session crashes and it takes me back to login. Any suggestions on what to do lol? I'm not good at linux troubleshooting. Edit: nvm, picom bug I think. Turned off transparency and it stopped crashing.

[@OleksaBaida]

What "rice" stands for? Is there a wiki or something to look through those build-desktop-beauty terms?

[@trevorsatori]

Hey, rice is just a term used by the community for customizing your desktop / window manager & making it look good.

[@OleksaBaida]

@@trevorsatori ok, so it's something between "tweaking" and "pimping up". Thanks! Funny feeling, when not getting what cool kids on a block talking about anymore 😄

[@trevorsatori]

@@OleksaBaida lol, I was the same

[@supersteve1440]

You can search for slang on urban dictionary

[@vali69]

I think rice is derived directly from the car community.

[@blinkanddie3397]

4:52 do you by any chance have a version of this that works for keyboard instead of mouse? (just the arduino shield part). I want to make pc think my arduino is a keyboard

[@trevorsatori]

There is a library for the arduino to emulate the keyboard yes

Hey man, is there any way i can contact you?

Yea, What's up?

Good video thank you! I just didn't get how do you copy and paste in Vim some one can explain to me? Ctrl + V doesn't work 🥲
