Arch Linux: Getting Started With Fish

In this video we are getting started with the Fish shell in Arch Linux. The Fish shell is another popular shell for Linux, which offers lots of customization options with plugins and themes. Here we are installing it, and we're going to configure basic settings. The Fish shell comes already with useful plugins and good customization options out of the box.

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

[@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:)

[@ilbarsozturk]

Nice guide Ermanno, thanks.

[@eflinux]

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

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@youssefbouzidi4672]

I did the zsh ...works amazing 👏 👌

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

Thanks for this Ermanno :)

[@eflinux]

You’re welcome!

[@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...

[@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.

[@podakira]

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

[@eflinux]

Hey thanks for being here!! And welcome!

[@leythecg]

really great content! Many, many thanks!

[@chankswedde142]

Thank you sir very help full

[@eflinux]

My pleasure!

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@Landlordtipper35]

EF - Tech Made Simple than you, great videos

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

Bluetooth is not working in my arch linux

[@bored78612]

Laptop? What DE and what chip?

[@t1kt0k_gaming]

where can I find this / these wallpapers?

_Thanks!_ _Very interesting!_ 🇷🇺

[@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.

[@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 ...

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.

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.
