I think Archcraft is the best way to get into window managers and get a feel of them. If you like Archcraft, then you can make your own arch install with a window manager.
ehhhhhhhh... if you like the themes and don't want to have to do anything with the system archcraft just works. If you want to actually be more hands on Arco is probably a better choice. And pretty much every WM is available for it. (with themes)
yep. that's why i don't bother with btrfs anymore. it's just another layer of complexity that isn't needed and some games don't like it. LVM2 is another option as well that makes backups easy. And you can edit partitions on the fly without even needing to reboot.
@@human__________ But BTRFS has some huge advantages, in example instant backup. It only takes a second or couple of seconds, instead of half an hour (at least in my case). It would make it possible to automatically backup everytime you install or boot your PC, without having to wait for anything. So there are still advantages, but I am not sure if it is ready for me.

That's what I call an user friendly distro : Keybingds are presented, choices for noob & advanced installing options. To me the BEST RICE SWITCHING experience I've seen on linux, it is fast, fully applyed, simple to change and refine. KDE really need to take some notes there. Not to forget Low on resources.. Thanks for testing it on actual hardware, I wish more reviewers do this.
Thank you Matt. This is a very detailed review and it is exactly what I wanted. I'm having a ton of issues with Plasma after it's latest update and I want to use something lighter, of course Tiling Window Managers are my top choice but I don't have the time right now to learns and setup everything as I want. This looks wonderful out of the box, so it comes very convenient to me.
I’ve got say at this point that the Archlinux world is just shining brighter with distros like this and what Eric Dubois & Team from Arcolinux have archived with Archlinux Tweak Tool (ATT), the ATT basically removes the need for using most Arch-based distros to just building up your Arch with as many DEs and TWMs as you want. Arch Craft here still makes a solid reason to exist.
I have 1 machine with Archcraft. I like it. I like the looks. I used Calamares with Openbox, Polybar on a NUC sized N6000 MSI box. Added Erik's Archlinux Tweak Tool. I appreciate the slimmer, leaner builds. My needs are simple, so I don't need much.
One of the FEW Distro's (Arch or Other) I've been able to "Successfully Install" On my Compaq CQ58Laptop !! Didn't have the Cohone's to use Calamaris Installer (For some Reason??) Fortunately for Me...they also INCLUDED the CLI , NCURSES based Installer for "LOW SPEC" machines like mine (Only a 1Ghz Dual-Core AMD APU/4GB Ram ) "Outstanding" !!
I learned about archcraft about a month ago, fell in love with the idea although i felt like a dumbass for using a preconfigured and pre-riced arch distro... that felling changed as soon as i started playing around with bspwm and learnin how it works. To be honest, I think archcraft is a perfect distro for users who want to learn about both tiling and floating wm as it comes with a stable and preconfigured environment to get familiar with bspwm instead of setting everything up for yourself (as a newcomer to wms of course) and then you can change stuff as you please. One downside I found is the lack of documentation on how everything is configured cuz I learned forcibly that a lot of dotfiles arent where theyre supposed to be or they are not written in the typical way (ive compared archcraft default dotfiles to unixp*rn users and so fr its quite different but maybe its just me being a noob). Anyways, great and beautiful ditro, could use better documentation and a bigger community.
Obviously I've heard of Archcraft but never really looked at it before. I have generally stayed away from window managers because I can't use tiling window managers (it just doesn't do well with my work flow). As such I have not really looked into any of them - made the ASSumption ;-) that they were all tiling. I've heard of OpenBox but didn't know it was a floating window manager. I do enjoy Arch, in fact currently running XeroLinux as one of my daily drivers, and have recently dug into Polybar thanks to your video! Add that to the themes which look amazing and I think I am going to give this a whirl and see how it goes. Thanks for doing the video, sir!
This distro looks awesome. As someone who's using Xfce on most machines, I really like the Xfce-based approach without using the full Xfce DE. I'd definitely give this a shot if I wanted to run Arch.
So which do you prefer? Archcraft or Axyl Linux? I thing the theme switcher is more advanced in Archcraft, but the themes -particularly the polybar and rofi themes - are more elaborate on Axyl.
@@TheLinuxCast Hey Mat! Given how you are a Fedora guy now, have you ever tried Qubes OS? I even saw on Unixp**n that there are people who manage to use it with tiling WMs, keeping colour-coded window borders per virtual machine apparently, which seems to be the ultimate ricing challenge. I'd like to see you make some Qubes OS content, there isn't much about it on RUclips.
Nice video! I really like some of the scripts and themes in Archcraft, although I'm a sucker for qTile. I ended up adding qTile to Archcraft by myself even though I had no real reason to do so and I gotta say I'm pretty happy with the results so far hehehe
Just when I thought I'd settled down for a while with Arco, here comes this gorgeous distro! I love that it comes with Vim already set up with vim-awesome. I've never considered trying Openbox simply because if I'm going to go for a window manager I want a tiler, but that looks good. Darn good. I love me some eye candy, but the many customizations in this distro seem to have been crafted with a great deal of care. Must try! And Thank you for installing this on an actual machine.
There have theming system also in openbox preference>change styles And in BSPWM ctrl+alt+t using the system you can change the look of your system it's very liking very very good. I m using so long Archcraft alongside archlabs and Archcraft is so good in my opinion. For every day usage. in Bspwm gruvbox theme is tremendous I love it
I see people hating on the creator for charging for a “prime” version or for wayland compositors. However the amount of work adi has put into this is astounding and I think worth it
To be completely fair I haven’t been much of a TWM kind of person. I wasn’t much of an Openbox user either. Now that I’ve had time with Openbox, EASY and fun to configure. Brings me back to 2010 when I went Linux full time with Ubuntu from Windows. So much customization compared to a full DE.
I've used lots of Arch derivatives and I'm yet to find one that does not present with a problem sooner or later. Never had screen saver issues but have had lots of other problems from screen flicker, failure to implement some hardware, stop jobs, screen and browser issues and system crashes to the command line. By contrast pure Arch has been much simpler and more consistently robust. I'll be sticking with it. As for looks with KDE you can make it looks as nice as you wish.
Wowzers, I just installed vanilla arch and have been painfully filling in all the gaps (good learning experience I should add) but dang this looks amazing. Thinking to wipe what I have done and roll with this.
Matt, Matt, Matt, sigh… I'm happy on Fedora, why did you show me this beauty? Now I'm going to have to install it on my spare partition or maybe a VM. 🙂 Seriously though, this looks like a very polished distro. I'm impressed.
My overall takeaway from this is that the archcraft/openbox combo and the minimal installation of apps is pretty much my perfect setup as a basic Linux install and an excellent foundation to build on. Great video. I couldn't care less about Vim, as we're not in the 70s and I'll use something like micro any day of the week. 😁
Thanks for the review. Im newish to the linux distros, but ive done enough hopping to know that i like xfce, I'm wanting to play with open box to learn more on an old pc but not willing to start from scratch. Any distro out there that is plug and play (good music media, office and a engineering program, run a couple really old microsoft games.) Just would like something with no bloat. I dont need internet so much.
If you're using the OpenBox session go to .config/openbox/polybar. Open the config file in an editor, find the line that says modules-center and make sure that there is nothing after the = sign.
10:20 few people know how to use VIM, it's not intuitive at all. If you know how to use VIM, congratulations, you are able to install it easily with a simple command
Hi! Are you going to stick to Fedora long-term as your daily driver? I think you said that in a video recently. I'm happy I made the switch, I don't think I'm going back to Arch, or Arch's ilk.
I agree about Vim! I have absolutely nothing against Nano, but the user should easily be able to choose from any of those at any time (like I still do :)). Looks nice! Personally I have not much experience with the old window managers, except some Fluxbox (which, like Openbox, is also configured by file) and Window Maker trying on Slackware Linux (yep, I have also tried that distro :)). But this Openbox stuff has been done nicely!
Hey Matt, why don't you try Archcrafts other WMs? According to their site they have like 10 other riced WMs you can install, but literally no one reviews those on youtube.
@@TheLinuxCast They kind of advertise them on the "gallery" page of their website, but not much more. But as I said: literally no one reviewed any of those on youtube ever when reviewing the distribution, it might be something you might enjoy trying.
I use base Arch on most of my machines, but gosh darnit... When it's time for next reinstall i might give this a go with openbox. (Never really ran OB since it was a "pain" to rice i.m.o) Super!
Have you checked out Garuda Linux yet? It's imo one of the good arch-based distroy like archcraft. They do much more than just put a bunch of bloat and a theme on there.
Garuda is my best arch-based distro. But like I've been saying... The BEST distro is the one that's best for you. There isn't no BEST arch-based distro or any best distro. Just saying!
Part of making a good distro is making it run good out of the box. It should in the very least be able to connect via WiFi and Archcraft has trouble with that. And so do some other Distros. I really wanted to make Archcraft my daily driver but sadly it can’t even connect me to the internet and believe me I’ve tried a number of things and nothing. Epic Fail.
-they don't use systemd, other than that- it looks ok. something i would've liked when i was running arch. -but no systemd is a deal breaker for me. not because i like systemd or anything, i really don't care. but because i have hardware that depends on systemd.-
Oh God... I cannot believe how bad this distro is, or even the point of it. They have the dumbest defaults set. The top bar is just huge and useless for 90% of what it shows, the borders on maximized windows.... Wtf??? And the little icon in the top right of the screen when you have fullscreen apps running. Don't get the point of this garbage when Endeavour exists and is essentially just a default Arch install with a desktop. Archcraft is bad. They're reinventing too many wheels.
Want more Linux content? I bitch and moan about Linux a lot over on Twitter: twitter.com/thelinuxcast
