I installed DTOS on Manjaro and it has so far been a clean experience. The programs that were installed were easy to configure (if needed) and the applications are great. Keep up the great work!
Great to hear that it's working for you. To be honest, I do most of my testing with DTOS on Manjaro, so I expect it to be a smoother experience than on other distros (since I can't possibly test every Arch-based distro).
@@sarveshsubramanian6638 is it using systemd? I guess DTOS is taking advantage of this deamon however some Arch based OSs are not using systemd. I guess if you anyway go for dt os the best way would be to use vanilla arch I guess.
I love Manjaro W/KDE I recommend it to everyone who wants bleeding edge with stability. The Manjaro team is innovative whit a focus on the future. Once Wayland is fully functional with rock solid stability - game over
@Red Rebel__ I recommend KDE/plasma for versatility, customization, features, and integration. For one example KDE Connect for flawless integration with smart phones. There are numerous reasons. I'm not sure why you would have an issue, especially with Manjaro. Nevertheless, if you're happy with Gnome stick with it. It's not a terrible DE by any means. I think you will love v42 coming out soon.
This is amazing work DT! I have a really old copy of your xmonad dotfiles installed on a laptop running linux mint and I had to do a fair amount more work to get things going. This really looks great!
@@ITalented My comment was deleted from earlier but I suggest going to DT's gitlab repo to get access to the dotfiles directly. I can't post the link but you can find it searching for distrotube and gitlab dotfiles
14:19 I thought manjaro was bloated took ages to update/install so I switched to arco. Then I saw someone over the internet mentioning it. I have encrypted my drive and it took a lot of times to boot. I used archlabs before, encryption worked nicely on it. Arco takes me to the grub rescue mode if I type the password wrong.
I have forked your excellent work. Thanks. Since my Arch setup is rather complicated, I will have to alter your work to fit my needs. And most importantly, I am looking forward to spring-boarding off your XMonad setup to make it more along the lines of something I need. I have 3 4K monitors, and I need the tiling to behave in a manner I have not seen anywhere yet. I have managed to get close to what I'm looking for with keyboard shortcuts in KDE, but that approach is rather messy. So we'll see where this goes. Keep up the good work!!!!
Good work my dude, as someone who switched to linux a few moths ago your work is really helping me. Would be nice to get your opinion on Kodachi OS. Looks like a good daily driver for someone who wants privacy and security.
I had a problem with installing, after asking me if I want to install awesome and qtile, the script says "ERROR: Failed to install required packages." I'm running on Manjaro, any idea what this could be? I'm not very well versed in this. Edit: Sounds like maybe what was mentioned here: 14:42
I just set up Manjaro with DTOS and it's great! Thank you so much! As a long time Ubuntu user, I'm finding myself lost in several areas... I'll post some of my questions here and hopefully people can point me in the right direction. - can I re-run `./dtos` to change my settings, like which shell I want as my default? - How do I open a file explorer? (I figured this one out - I open Nautilus through the run menu... is there a short key for this?) - How do I open a systems settings window? I'm wanting to change my mouse/trackpad scroll settings and position my displays relative to each other. - How do I switch which monitor conky shows up on. - How do I change from one of the shells to another? (setting my default as Fish or ZSH, in a lasting way) - How do I remap my capslock key to another control? (normally I'd do this in settings but I can't find settings) Posting questions here is probably fine because maybe it will help others with the same questions. But I was wondering if there's a discord or something somewhere for people to learn from each other on this setup? In lieu of that, a "here are the 10-20 things I do most often in xmonad" kind of list might be helpful for someone like me. Anyone have a few xmonad commands you use most often that you want to share? So far I'm using: `super-enter` for terminal `super-shift-enter` for run menu / finding apps `super-shift-c` to close `super click drag` to float and move `super right-click drag` to resize floating windows `super h` and `super l` to resize main window `super k` and `super l` to change focus And I'll get more over time... but yeah - I'm in the noob time on this setup, and any tips folks have to get settled in would be so helpful! I'm also going to check out the doom emacs video soon, as I've been a vim user for years and would love to see what all this emacs stuff is all about. ;)
how is this not yet the most popular script in the world?? I'm sure that if this is made into a distro rather than a script, it could be a mainstream distros
you can setup a scheduled pipeline to do the job. you just need to make sure every step is automated and do not require the user input to continue the update.

Hi DT, How would you handle dpi/ppi settings with dtos/Manjaro and 4k high resolution? .X resources font dpi? What about increasing dmenu and xmobar scale? Have issues bringing it all together. Thanks for writing and maintaining!!
I'm transitioning from windows. currently running endeavor on vm to see if that's the one i want to install on native hardware. will your script run on that? edit: eg: on a fresh endeavour os install i get a syncing error that's not even anything in your package list. jack2 and pipewire-jack are apparently in conflict. do i just uninstall one of them?
Hey, DT. 1st: Thx 4 your excellent work! I watched a video some time ago where you told about your practice to "rank" gitlab/github "weight" in sense of activity and similar factors, but I can't find it anymore. Any hint? Thx in advance!

EndeavourOS is very much in line with vanilla Arch, same as Garuda and unlike Manjaro. They just add extra packages precompiled from AUR to their own repo, instead of replacing packages from Arch. Installing DTOS should be as straightforward as with Arch
The last time I tried DTOS on Endeavour, the installation failed because DTOS tried to install 'yad' and Endeavour has their own custom version of 'yad' called 'yad-eos'. So either remove 'yad-eos' before running the script OR remove 'yad' from the pkglist.txt before running the script.
will you check out some wayland tilling wms? like waymonad or something. there are absolutely no vids for this stuff so you would be first (only vid i found is about sway)
Im a total noob, just installed manjaro 1 or 2 weeks before and i run windows in kvm which i use mostly for everything. Now i blindly installed DTOS without knowing what it is just to take a look what a "real linux-users os" looks like and man, im totally lost. I have no windows key that opens a menu, windows have no x or underscore to minimize them or things, i can barely click anything. I managed to open youtube in cutebrowser but then was unable to contitnue to do anything besides browsing. Is there somewhere a video or playlist i can watch to learn what all the stuff is? Right now i dont even know where to start because i don't know the terms and which software does what.
So DT. On your script you check for root users with "if [ $(id -u) = 0 ]". Wouldn't it be better to use "if [ $HOME = /root ]", since that's what you're looking for? The reason I say that is because you could still use "sudo -E" to execute the script, instead of calling it from inside every now and then.
SUPER+p, followed by c. You could also try to run the script with the command 'dtos-colorscheme'. The script should be ~/.local/bin. If it's there, make sure it's executable if for some reason it isn't.

Is there any shortcut key to launch file manager in DTOS
Really wish this worked for me but when I install on my dual monitor setup 1. the screen displays are swapped and 2. the keybinds do not work.
