@@freevbucks8019 I was using Arch on my gaming PC for a while which at the time had a Ryzen 5 5600X, RX 5700XT, 32GB RAM (3200MHz).

I don't think you should include pkgstats as an "essential program", but if you're going to include it then you should at least let your viewers know that it's a telemetry background service. Other than that, great video. 👍
FYI, it's 2023 out there and it's realy hard to find any non-UEFI old hardware. So, there is no need to install GRUB anymore (and ruine already installed bootloaders). You can easily create a dedicated EFI partiton for your OS and create a separate loader by systemd-boot or make UEFI load linux directly by creating a loader with efibootmgr.
I discovered your channel and first want to thank you for all the helpful information on different distro's and especially on your installations and what to do after.. videos. I have a question you might have some recommendations. I switched 100% to Linux 2 years and tried different distro's and had regularly problems with my brother printer (type mfc-j5930dw), as brother deliver an install scrip for deb & rpm it works fine on Debian but not always on Ubuntu... I think about buying now a new network printer (based on what I found on the net, I tempt to go for an HP office jet pro)... Do you have any recommendation or own experience on what brand/model have the best Linux support? thanks in advance for any suggestion and again thank you for your work on promoting Linux.
I do not have that much experience with printers. I have had a few printers so far and they all worked fine with Linux. I have had some issue with network printing in shared printer at work. It required authentication for printing and it did not work out of the box, but I was able to fix it. HP printers should work. There is official support from HP according to their website. Just google the model for problems with linux before you buy it. FYI, I use HP LaserJet Pro MFP M130fw right now. I cannot say anything particular about this model. I got it for free and it works.
Hello SIr , I am following your videos & blog for so long for linux learning. I have installed Arch Linux with xfce desktop , setted up most of the things but having an issue where I can't extract or create archive. I have xarchiver & thunar-archive-plugin both installed but still having the same issue where it says " sorry this archive format is not supported , the proper archiver isn't installed." I tried searching on google but the process isn't explained clearly anywhere. Please help, Thank You

2 things to do after installing Arch Linux: 1. Go on the internet and proudly state you are using Arch 2. Reinstall the machine with a proper distro like Fedora or Debian
Hi, I see you're using either Arch, or some Ubuntu variant and always talk about these. Have you ever considered using something simpler like Fedora or RHEL? Also, what do you think about NixOS?
1. Post that you're using Arch on a forum for credit, but nobody cares. 2. Use Arch Linux for a week. 3. Install OpenBSD because that is what the cooler people are doing now. Arch Linux is really very 2019 and it can be argued to be easier to use than Windows 11 at this point.

way to fast through many parts, like the automatic cache cleaning, spent several minutes trying to slow down the video before your cli jumps so far down your command is lost, then got some no new privileges error so I couldn't even run it, nor did you simply provide a basic default command line to delete the cache, which mine was nearly 6 GB, so while it was good to learn this, I'm left going somewhere else for effective information on how to manage it. Also, first half of the video is setting up very basic schemes for the terminal interface, even though just about every arch distro I've used comes with those configurations already enabled, but I suppose if you did the bare bones basic arch installer it would be helpful, just seems like a lot of time was spent on pretty useless info for the most users of Arch, i.e. manjaro, xero, and numerous other distros., and yet info that would be more useful you blazed right through and didn't provide any troubleshooting, nor alternative, nor default methods to execute the same functions.

Both of these are far inferior to arch.

The 11th thing to do is pray it doesn't break after you update it.😂
1. Post that you're using Arch on a forum for credit, but nobody cares.
2. Use Arch Linux for a week.
3. Install OpenBSD because that is what the cooler people are doing now. Arch Linux is really very 2019 and it can be argued to be easier to use than Windows 11 at this point.

2 - upgrade
3 - uninstall because can't figure out why it's broke.

or use whatever distro you like without being so insecure
@@cutiepielonely I"m making fun of the memes man... and funnier if people ARE insecure about their OS.
1. type neofetch in terminal, found out it doesnt work
2. go back to windows
1. Tell everyone I’m using arch now.. Check! ✅
I can't understand when in the first section he says "Ctrl..WHAT??.
There have I suppose always a few who like to build their own home, brick by brick ... others just buy one ready made.
lol as someone said the first thing should be to brag, so, everyone, 'sudo pacman -S neofetch fastfetch uwufetch' lmfao

Thing number 0: tell every one that you use Arch
Make sure you enjoy installing Arch, because sooner or later you are going to have to do it again. It breaks surprisingly often.
I have never heard anyone break their arch system so that it has to be reinstalled.
I broke it the first time installing Visual Studio. This is accurate for me lol
