Got to know about the ALG project when I was in my distro-hopping phase. It was taken down just a week or two before when I decided to install it as my daily driver. Have been running EndeavourOS ever since and it is as close to vanilla arch as possible.
Yup, I’ve heard of it, and I tried reading their website once, but got confused by their naming. I’m planning to make a video if I can figure out what is D what is B and all the learning phases
@@MumblingHugo it is briefly explained in START HERE button. It shows the learning path Erik the creator has in mind for people who are learning Arch/Linux. Also if you click download SCROLL down on that page. It has a graphic representation of the different versions as well. Pro tip for anyone: Erik posted over 3000 videos on his channel already explaining installing ,updates, things that go wrong and how to fix them. It is quite remarkable tbh. And lastly check out hist Arch Linux Tweaktool found on the AUR.
I wanted to use arch but was terrified of deleting the WRONG disk, so I found ALG and used it instead, from there I could play with the system and learned a lot about linux systems in general. It got discontinued because Arch didn't want the project having the "Arch Linux GUI" name, and the creator said it didn't make sense to call it anything else, plus it was a small project and he wants to do other stuff. There was also versions of I3 and I belive AWM too. Shame it died :(
ALG is awesome and I've used it for every single bare-metal linux install I've done, but I believe now is the time for the customer-base of ALG to be looking at the arch install python script that ships with the vanilla arch iso
The quality of your videos has jumped a lot. Arch was never beginner friendly, it needs some sort of setup, it does not need to be graphical, just present the user with predefined steps which he has to take in order to bring the system up to it's minimum.
Thank you for watching as always, you're right, it isn't beginner friendly at all. They need to at least know their way around arch wiki after the graphical assistant.
Just saw this video! Thank you so much for covering ALG on your channel!! Also, you have brilliant video making skills. Keep going :)
Thank you for making ALG, it's a great tool, loved it
🤧 so sad this beautiful project need to end
Agreed
It was nice how you went from showing us ALG to suddenly do a whole sub-video of getting steam working on Arch, nice!
Thanks, glad you like it.
wow, I'd never hear of this before! I've been watching your videos for the past couple weeks now, you have the best concise Linux videos around!
Thank you, trying my best to be entertaining and informative at the same time

Yes, EOS is pretty awesome and smooth to use
I am using ALG since April in my new computer, damm, my life really got easier with a clear OS and my favorite Distro
This channel way way underated
Thank you for the kind words, I'm still learning how to make good videos, may not be able to keep up with the quality or the upload frequency.
You can also use ArcoLinuxD installer for a pure Arch installation. :) You can even go with only basic packages, without any desktop environment...

This is great, if not for this youtube channel, I would never know, just added arcolinux in my queue, thanks a lot!!!

It's a shame, and I wished I have heard about it earlier, such a easy tool to use.

Agreed, was thinking about comparing the 2 in this video but didn't have the time
You can sort of make that 'config file' for any distro I believe with a simple bash script that updates the system and downloads your stuff.
True, I should try to do that
Arch linux it self has on the iso archinstall script !!
I know
Try Garuda Linux
I did, see my old videos
@@MumblingHugo Okey 😅

It has already, nowdays there is a 'easy' install for arch linux, it comes with the ISO, it's straightforward, still not graphical tho.
Will take a look
