@@techheart6090 I know its a pretty out of nowhere compliment but im a first time linux user and i know arch isnt a beginner distro but im up for the challange?? After going through so many tutorials ( even tried your hyprland install, but to no avail and ultimately ended up giving up which sucked...on hyprland ofc) and wikis all of them leading nowhere..So switching my goal to plasma and using this tutorial and FINALLY getting to see a working desktop..dude i say it again UR THE BEST!! As per what imma tear into next i was kinda hoping for some recommendations cause my plan was just going through reddit and a boat load of youtube videos lol..although i have yet to test out any games cz it was too fkn late!! so ill do that..anyways enough of my ramblings, im really excited to explore and learn!!

[@illmattep]

Very nice video i loved how you explained things, definitely wanna support your work, also i may suggest a video idea about linux ricing, desktop environment and window managers, stuff like polybar or tint2, compositirs etc, maybe a way to rice kde as well for those who want a simple to use and full featured kde environment but still like the unbloatedness, simplicity, ease of use and style of a riced wm like openbox or i may even say bspwm/i3wm. - love from Italy

[@techheart6090]

OK - so... hmmmm - using polybar/tint2/waybar/other hepers AND KDE??? Or other DEs??? Those helpers kinda work better w/ Hyprland or a TWM. Hmmmm - will give thought to your suggestions.

Thanks.- I'm trying to find my style on YT and editing... time will tell. :P

I need a tip on the following: Lets say i got debian installed on one of my disc, and its running with grub. Now i got another completly empty disk where i want to put archlinux on, do i need to select something diffrent on disk partitions because i already got grub installed on another disk?

[@techheart6090]

You'd just install a new OS on the other disk - and add a GRUB entry TO that disk. Hmmmm - maybe this can be a future video... I understand what yer asking, and it can be done... but I'd have to go thru and SHOW it.

[@LegendOfNym]

@@techheart6090 what I tried in the archinstall, us mounting the boot of arch to /boot/efi of my partition that already got grub... but than on the install itself it aborts because it can't recognize it as an efi partition, tried to mount it to /boot to with the same error. In could always chain the bootloader, but I feel like it shouldn't be necessary in this case. Another problem for me is that yhe os prober only checks the same drive. In theory, could I just install arch on the completely empty drive, and then take the new grub entry that I have and append it to the old one I got? Or just copy paste the whole boot into the old boot?

[@davidwayne9982]

I have it on CACHY OS now... but thinking of putting it on ARTIX-- I really like ARTIX.. simple- fast and solid.

[@techheart6090]

Even the distros that don't have testing/extra repos... you can build from source right from their website!!!

Nice - I just installed KaOS to check IT out ... and it's pretty nice. I'm thinking of covering it tomorrow or next week. Send any suggestions my way - I'm trying to create over here!! :P

[@davidwayne9982]

@@techheart6090 ARTIX must be having some problems-- NOTHING is working on that right now.. simple stuff I've done with it many times is suddenly doing NOTHING...

Boring you mean the hard way more easily installed garuda

[@techheart6090]

That makes sense - I had a different Garuda video so I went with vanilla arch. Thanks for the input.

[@techheart6090]

Already had a Garuda video, but thanks for the input... I'm tryin!
