[@TatoBerante]

I've learned how to properly set up my bspwm with you. I'd love to see an arch + hyprland installation because the way you explain things is by far the best. Welcome back!

[@jesse7631]

Thanks for posting Ermanno! Looking forward to seeing some new content from you, even if it's not as often. Your videos are always high quality.

[@Thomas_Grusz]

Welcome back, Ermanno. I did my LPIC-1 in the meantime and am also entering the Linux sysadmin field as a second career. I would be really interested in some practical videos, that show what a sysadmin does in real life and how we can leverage our knowledge for relevant tasks like analyzing logs, user management, etc. And thanks again for all your great videos so far!

[@isaacvicente]

That would be great.

[@luklagrande]

Ciao Ermanno!! I've found about your channel in the last couple of months...I'm pretty new to Linux and I've just moved to Arch lately, and this is also because of your help...of course watching you videos I noticed they were not recent so this is one is the first "new" video from you for me!! welcome back and thanks again!

[@chokfulla]

It's great to have you back. You must have read my mind for your next video. Can't wait to see SWAY in action!

[@JP-lf7zd]

Hey Ermanno! So good to hear from you. Looking forward to your videos

[@jefferson4245]

Welcome back! Looking good, Ermanno!

[@krisbrightspirals]

welcome back!! So great to see you again! I owe a lot of my linux journey to your videos

[@philippeheyvaert3742]

Fantastic news!! Welcome back Ermanno! Your videos where great. Your videos are great and your new videos will be great! Very nice to see and hear you again. All the best from Belgium -- Philippe ... I use Debian, but I love your videos none the less.

[@9e0r63]

Heeey Ermanno, thanks to your videos I have learned a lot about Arch. We miss your excellent instructional videos. We hope you come back very soon. I understand that you have your work commitments. And I thank you very much for that valuable time that you take to upload your videos and teach us to improve and appreciate this GNU-Linux operating system. A hug. Greetings. 😁

[@thesaigoneer]

Really great to have you back Ermanno! Looking forward to your viseo's (just saw your Arch install) but most of all happy to hear you are doing well. And on Sway, great, looking forward to it!

[@jesse7631]

You know what I would like to see is an Arch install video which uses systemd-boot and then configured to dual-boot with another Linux distro (like Fedora). Welcome back!!

[@eflinux]

Dualboot linux OS's is great suggestion!

[@peterjansen4826]

A new thing with installing Arch, now you can get the problem that the keys are out of date. That was fun, I think that currently they fixed it by suggesting you to update the keys first.

[@eflinux]

I've had that a couple of times lately too. Seems to be fixed now though.

[@MrOlegrom]

Great to see you back! Looking forward for new videos!

[@heshamkhalil2215]

welcome back . I'm happy for your for advancing in your career & creating videos again

[@debarkak]

I am learning how to use arch Linux and your channel is the best place to learn arch Linux. I am happy you are back.

[@debarkak]

Btw which one is best? Xfce, gnome or kde I am very familier with gnome and kde but which one is best?

[@eflinux]

The best one is the one where you feel the most comfortable with :) I tend to use more Wayland DE's or WM's as they have better support for HiDPI, that means Gnome, KDE, Sway and Hyprland. In the end it really comes down to personal preference.

[@pjweatherhead36]

Great you are back. I am following your channel as my intro to Arch. Great info, I have learned alot.

[@moyack]

Hi, I'm very glad to see you around again 😀 I'd like to propose a video about artix installation, with all the stuff you like (timeshift, zram, etc). Big Hugs!!!!

[@ArielPalatnik]

I missed your videos. It's good to have you back.

[@EarrapeMasterTM]

I'm glad you're back. You were essential to helping me set up Arch. Thanks!

[@chikaodili]

Thank you Ermanno, we missed you. I'm looking forward to the sway window manager setup, I'm really struggling with my multi monitor/resolution setup. Enjoy your break!

[@k1ngkela203]

So glad to hear from you!

[@JM-sn5eb]

Good to have you back! Waiting for Sway video but please consider hyprland in the future :)

[@eflinux]

Hey thanks! Hyprland is great idea. I have tried it a few weeks ago and was really interesting.

[@64Rosso]

New hairstyle! 😊 It's good to have you back, Ermanno: greetings from Italy!

[@jatindua5866]

Ermanno, Glad to see you back on KZbin!

[@otto1533]

Glad to see you again, Ermanno. Only one word in request: *Wayland*

[@mylinuxforwork]

So great to have you back. Looking forward to your upcoming videos.

[@charname2077]

Hey Ermano. You introduced me to Arch and everything behind Arch and Linux through your videos. Thank you.

[@harnis65000]

I'm so glad to see you again. It is thanks to you that I now use Arch linux on my 2 PCs. I would like one day you show us a perfect installation for a laptop with gnome: with the following components: xfs, tlp, linux-zen, optimization, nvidia switch (integrated and hybrid), timeshift snaphot with grub (I don't don't know if it's possible with Xfs), system maintenance: automatic pacman cache management... I would like to be able to demonstrate that Arch Linux can be the perfect operating system for everything. Games (with Steam), office automation, video editing and privacy. Thank you so much for your work.

[@isaacvicente]

Would be nice if you bring to us the things you've learned. Not only the tools you use in work, but the command line programs that you find interesting to show!

[@alang7273]

Welcome back Ermanno! Glad you are here again

[@alexanderspeshilov839]

Thank you, we are happy to see you again!

[@derekr54]

Great to see you back Ermanno,I look forward to your new videos and I am pleased to hear the job is going well for you.Stay safe and see you sometime in May.

[@JamesRichardsPlays]

I have always used your videos on my phone when reminding myself of what to do when reinstalling Arch. I have been learning a lot, trashing my system while I do it, and having to wipe clean and start again hehehehehe I am one of those people who need to read and see what is happening to understand it. You are very helpful and I am grateful for your contributions to the community.

[@evildragon1774]

Welcome back ermano, just want to say thanks for making arch installation video. Without them, i'd still using ubuntu rn 😂

[@MrBlueHost]

Good that you are back ! Thanks for all the good work up till now and I know for sure it will go on like before !

[@oswaldofcarim8102]

Nice video, great to hear from you Ermanno! Your new job sounds perfect for you!

[@cisnanchio]

Grande Ermanno, thanks for keeping us updated and being just an awesome person. Continua così!

[@massimogiussani4493]

Bravo Ermanno, sentivamo la tua mancanza!

[@TheEricDangerous]

Basic install, Gnome Wayland, Ext4 and with Arch Logo on GDM, trop cool ton retour Ermanno.

[@NOPerative]

Nice haircut - you clean-up nicely. Glad to see you again. Hope you're doing very well - welcome back! Funny enough, I've been getting into Wayland a bunch lately having kicked the tires of Wayfire, River, Sway and Hyprland. Never felt so torn regarding desktops and then there's Gnome Wayland and KDE Wayland variants that run so well on my legacy hardware. Wayland is getting incredible and now that NVidia has dropped source (API & driver code) can only expect great things to be coming down the road concerning the Wayland Protocol based projects. Linux is once again going through a huge period of growth and it's no less-brighter than the days when network connectivity stabilized. Would definitely be hard for me to overlook some EF - Wayland vids. Like EF and like Wayland --win, win. Take care and be safe.

[@indecipherabl3]

Welcome back Ermanno, thanks a lot for your hard work. Watching your videos took me from taking a week to install Arch to taking two hours. Just did my third install from scratch thanks to you. You should do Gentoo videos as well.

[@thelinuxtube664]

Great videos !!! Thank you !! Glad I found you Hermano !!!

[@AlexDBall]

Glad to see you back! Looking forward to the upcoming videos!

[@KaltesHerz]

Welcome back Ermanno! We missed you.

[@amhainen]

SO GLAD you are back!!❤

[@BrenSmith]

So glad to hear you’re coming back!

[@johnprince7445]

Glade you're back. Missed you and your great videos. They were always helpful and enjoyable.

[@nymnicholas]

We are all waiting. Glad that you are well. Hyprland on Arch looks cool.

[@iulianmoisi4365]

Its great to see you are doing fine!At first i tought you were sick or something,im glad thats not the case.Looking forward for your future videos about this passion we are all sharing.Wish you all the best!

[@NoNameFoundTV]

Grande zio Ermanno!!! Parlavo di te giusto oggi con un collega, ed avere la notifica di un tuo nuovo video e' stata veramente una bella sorpresa. Spero tu stia bene e sia andato tutto bene durante questa lunga assenza. Un'abbraccio grande zio Ermanno, e bentornato! ❤

[@UnhingedNW]

Happy to see you getting back in the saddle!

[@levpetrovsky1]

I'm so glad to see you again Ermanno! Welcome back my friend! God bless you and your family! See ya!

[@borisknows]

Amazing to hear all the news and looking forward to your quality content.

[@marvicdigital]

Ermanno, what a joy to know that you are well, thank you very much for this video, I am also glad to know that you have a good time with your work and that you share very funny experiences such as the Linux distribution war between your work team. I appreciate this time that you dedicate to us, sharing your knowledge, and I will be attentive to your new installation of i3 with Wayland. Greetings from Colombia.

[@ricardo072]

It's amazing to see you back, welcome back

[@satysin630]

Great to see you back Ermanno! Glad life is all going well :) Looking forward to the new content.

[@marol75-l2h]

Ciao Ermanno! 😀 I'm so happy to see you! Thanks to your tutorials I could make two Arch installs: both are btrfs+luks and snapper. Dsktop - with systemd-boot and i3, Dell laptop - grub and wayland. I'm grateful to you for your work and clear explanation step by step of the whole process of installation and maintenance (especially - snapper). BTW, to me it's a bit controversial: timeshift vs snapper. I'd like to see your tutorial about Hyprland 😉I installed it in my Dell (along with sway), but it seems there's a lot of work with waybar.

[@cyberhard]

Good to see you again. In future videos, please turn down the volume or better yet, no background music.

[@habanero79]

It is so awesome that you will be back soon. A few months ago there were some issues installing Arch Linux by using the archinstall script. Hope that it is already fixed. Looking forward to watching your first Arch Linux install video after nearly one year break. 👍😀

[@TurntableTV]

Happy for you getting that job! :)

[@Hiram8866]

Great to see you back. Your job sounds interesting. A look a Void Linux would be great. Not many cover this distro.

[@folksurvival]

The best distro in my opinion. He did already make an almost half an hour video about Void but more would be good.

[@fhunter2158]

Great to see you back Ermanno!

[@AKMishra60]

Very happy to see you back... missed you a lot... hope we all see regular stuff from you shortly.

[@divemaskstrap]

One of my best jobs in the past, when I worked for an ISP hosting provider. Now I am an IT consult. Good luck!

[@agungsatria9196]

What a surprise seeing "EF Linux Made Simple" on my notifications. Love your video sir

[@HipoTamek]

It's great that you're back. Greetings from Poland 😀

[@Badcannon]

I am so happy you have been enjoying your new Job, and super hyped to see you back making videos. I literally searched you up last week to see if there is a new Installation guide haha. Welcome back :)

[@porudev1372]

I've been a big fan for a pretty long time now, keep up the great work!

[@cyberagent009]

Good to see you back Ermanno.

[@gastonlagaffe9156]

Hello Sir, nice to see you back! Like lot of your subscribers I’m waiting for more of your interesting and inspiring videos.

[@docfaizal]

[@idjdbrvvskambvvv9007]

[@eflinux]

I guess my new hair style makes me look thinner :)

[@dmiracle74]

I was happy to see you posted an update. You are one of my favorite content creators.

[@Oromion]

Is great that you are doing well in the job, congrats and we will stay tune for new videos. One topic to review could be how to understand systemd logs or related.

[@petar0402]

Welcome back! Cannot wait for new video(s)!

[@MichaelBanditt]

Schön, dass du wieder da bist, Ermanno. Ich freue mich schon. ☺

[@Appalling68]

Holy shit! He's alive AND he's gonna be back? Yipeeeee!! 👏 Edit: Love the new look, Ermanno.

[@joekamprad]

🎉 nice to see you back! Try Hyprland if into Wayland!

[@archttila]

Hello Ermano! nice to see you back!

[@square_and_compass]

I miss you!! How about your own KZbin Arch Linux Academy offering certification from your Academy. That will allow you to be self-employed and monetize for income? I say this because you are really good at this, it helped me a whole lot with Arch Linux. From basics to Advanced is a good strategy and I feel you will succeed with the suggestion I made.

[@WalidBoudabbous]

Good Luck, your work helps a lot of IT lovers.

[@Alex-sn4ql]

Good to see you again. I am looking forward to new videos.

[@rlocone]

Awesome, to see you back.

[@act.13.41]

It's good to see you again!

[@nicoandresrodriguez]

Happy to see you again delivering great contend, arch installs are my favorites ones, I always get stuck in the EFI config and my system not detect hard disk, I ended using the arch_install script, so will be nice if you could do a detail view on that part,

[@Klatsch_Batsch]

Nice to see you Beck 🙆👍

[@flightman2870]

Thanks for coming back. I missed you a lot

[@jdecicco91]

Glad you’re back at it
