I never tried it. I’ll have to take a look at it one of these days. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I really appreciate it.

You're welcome. I'm happy you're enjoying Manjaro. Thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate it.

I intended to make this video on the Gnome edition; however, off camera I had trouble loading the desktop after installation. So I decided make the video on the Xfce edition because it worked out of the box with no problems. My next video will highlight the trouble I had with the Gnome edition with two workarounds.

@@linuxmench2118 yes please do

The i3 and sway ones look really nice also.

@@_BLANK_BLANK I didn't try those.

I don't know much about Ubuntu. I never lived in it and I think I only did one video on it a long time ago. Gnome Connections should be installed by default with the Gnome desktop environment. However, you can install Gnome Connections with any desktop environment or window manager. You can also install Remmina. Gnome Connections and Remmina should be available in any Linux Distribution.

Yes, that's true.

I never use it and never had a problem. Swap was critical when computers hardly had any ram. Nowadays, computers come with at least 8gb of ram. Many people have 16 to 32gb of ram, and some 64gb. Some distributions don't give the option of installing without swap and I can think of one distribution that matches swap to ram. So if you have 16gb of ram, it automatically gives you 16gb of swap. Imagine a hard drive with 32 or 64gb of swap. It's a real waste of space.

Thanks for sharing the information.

I didn't realize you were using pure Debian. I thought you were on Linux Mint. I'm starting to think that the only two distributions that really matter are Debian and Arch. I really do like pure Debian, but I prefer Arch and that's why I do more videos on Arch than other distributions.

@@linuxmench2118 I was using Linux Mint but a few months ago I tried Debian. I found I liked it and I also tried other desktops on my other computers which ran very well. So I decided to install it on my other 3 laptops. They now all have Debian each with a different desktop. And I have recently upgraded 2 of them to Debian Trixie. Which is the testing version of what will be Debian 13. But it is running so well and is very stable. Ubuntu is based on Debian and Linux Mint has 2 versions. One which is Ubuntu based and the other LMDE which is based on Debian but has Mints own tools and software. Which is good for new users who want to try Debian for the first time. Because with the Mint version you get an Update Manager, Software Center and everything. So new users won't have to install very much.

You are most welcome. I’m glad it helped.

This link is my video on how to install wifi in Arch: Arch Linux Install WiFi ua-cam.com/video/HCfx3yaVM6c/v-deo.html I use Rhythmbox or Cmus for music Mpv or Celluloid for watching videos My configuration files are to make it easier for me when I’m making virtual machines for my videos or when I need to do a fresh install on a real computer. I made them available for those who choose to use them. You can download the scripts and alter them ( delete some apps ) to your benefit. Or don’t download them. I’m not offended, it’s your choice. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@linuxmench2118 The video doesn't show how to install wifi drivers. The thing about the arch install script is that if you don't have a compatible wifi adapter, IWCTL doesn't work. I know, cause I tried! So my question is, if you could do a video on how to get WiFi working in arch, not install arch using wifi. Some of the other arch based distributions have this working out of the box.

I think I’m leaning in that direction.

My zsh configuration file has auto completion in it. I just type part of the word and hit tab on my keyboard. If you install zsh, you can download my zsh configuration file from my Gitlab repository.

I'm pleased you enjoyed it and learned something. Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate it.

You're welcome. Glad it helped. Thanks for the positive feedback.

Thanks again for the kind words and positive feedback. I really appreciate it.

I don't know Endeavour that well. I never lived in it. I made two videos on it: this past May and 17 months ago. However, I will make a new video and show the changes I would make after installation. It will probably take a few days.

Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot to me. From your lips to the UA-cam algorithm.

You’re welcome. I’m glad you like them. Thanks for the kind words, It’s greatly appreciated.

I meant to say 18mb of Ram. I misspoke. The pinned comment explains it.

I like Lmde better than Mint based on Ubuntu.

Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it.

Thank you, I appreciate the positive feedback.

You’re welcome, I’m happy you found it useful.

Yes, I thought same thing as you, reinstalling might be easier especially since I didn’t show how to connect to an encrypted drive which is more complicated. Thanks for the tip, I’ll try it.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. The way you typed "slow", threw your comment into my held for review folder and I didn't notice it. I suggest you install your mirrors manually. Before doing your install go to the Arch website and select 2 or 3 good mirrors close to where you live. When doing your install, in the tty, before you begin archinstall, download a thousand mirrors and select the ones you want, moving them to the top of the list and activating them. Save the file and sync your selected mirrors. Go into archinstall and skip the mirror part. Watch the linked video at the time stamps below: Watch at 13:35 and 17:03 and 21:13 ua-cam.com/video/dYhWbJdU9NE/v-deo.html

@@linuxmench2118 No worries. Yeah, I was thinking about setting up repos by hand next time I have to do it. It was absolutely painful. Don’t know if the Archinstall script is just messed up or what, but it’s definitely not doing what it should do.

I'm guessing something was wrong with the mirror it was using. I'm releasing a manual install video tomorrow. In it, I had trouble with the mirror I was using, and I fixed it on camera.

@@linuxmench2118 I just did another install and selected “Custom mirror” instead of just choosing the mirror region and it worked fine. Guess the mirror ranking in the script must be awry. 🤷🏻

That's great, glad it worked out!

You're welcome!

Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it. Your advice is good, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate it. I hardly ever use WiFi on my systems, I prefer Ethernet connection. I haven't used Anitx for a while. After reading your message, I installed it on a spare computer. It installed fast as usual. After installation, I was going to update the system and see if I could get the WiFi working. The system wouldn't update. Were you able to update the system? I'm disappointed, it seems the system is not properly maintained. I don't recommend using it. I think Mint or Debian is a better solution. I recently made a video showing how to setup WiFi in Arch, but you may not want to go that route. Cheers!

@@linuxmench2118 Thanks again & after reading you reply I decided to take my small web book Acer downstairs & using an old ethernet cable, linked it to our BT hub. However, I naively thought it would be easy to connect, but after searching for ways to configure a connection I totally failed again! I used to run Mint Cinnamon & really liked that, but when they stopped doing upgrades for 32 bit machines, I was advised not to use it as there could be security issues. However, a Linux retailer here in the UK that continues to sell it & other distributions 'out of date', told me that it was safe to do so. If that was true & the DVDs they sell have all the updates on, I would buy one. Cheers...

My computers are old, but they're all 64 bit. I think it's time to bury the 32 bit machine. Yes, Antix still supports 32 bit, they even mention on their website you may be unable to install and run some apps. Someone is selling DVD's with outdated 32 bit distributions? Am I understanding you correctly? Sounds a bit dodgy to me. If money is an issue, you can buy refurbished computers from Amazon and put your favorite Linux distribution on them. You might try MX Linux, I think they still support 32 bit, but I may be wrong. Cheers.

You're welcome. I'm happy you are enjoying my videos. Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it.

Glad you liked it!

You're welcome. Thanks for the positive feedback. I really appreciate it. I did 3 videos on DWM back in June. I used it on my main production machine for a few weeks, but haven't used it since early summer. I should probably take another look at it and see if there's an update. I installed it from source; consequently, it doesn't get updated through pacman. I also have several videos on Awesome and Qtile. Thus far, these are the only window managers I have used.

Thanks for the positive feedback, I really appreciate it. I'm new to i3, only been using it for about 3 weeks. I'm really enjoying it and I'm running it on two real computers. I'm also using it in a virtual machine of Arch at work.

You’re welcome, I appreciate the positive feedback.

You’re welcome! Glad it helped you. Thanks for the positive feedback.

You’re welcome! Glad it helped you. Thanks for the positive feedback.

I'm not sure, perhaps, Libreoffice.

Thanks!

Okay, thanks.

You're welcome! AntiX installs by default several different window managers; although, they are very similar. I have several videos on AntiX. In at least one of them, I installed the Awesome Window Manager. Once AntiX is installed, you can install any window manager that's available in the Debian Repo, in the gui or in the terminal.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

@@linuxmench2118 Yeh, just being honest. Great channel!

Thanks for the positive feedback, I appreciate it.

I'm happy it helped. Thanks for the positive feedback, I really appreciate it.

You could make a script to run in the terminal to install all your favourite apps and keep it on a thumb drive. After a new install of Mint, you go into the terminal and run the script.

@@linuxmench2118 Thanks for your suggestion which I'll consider Whenever I install in a new OS I rather do it manually in order to view the process step-by-step (Can say I'm somehow a dumb, pigheaded)

@@RicardoGarciso I understand lol

You’re welcome. Glad it helped. It’s strange because some people were able to upgrade easily with no problems and other people were not able to upgrade. That’s one of the reasons why I run Arch on my main computer. I do an easy update every day or two and I don’t have to worry about a major upgrade.

If your printer is working, you could go into the auto app and delete the printer stuff; likewise, you could delete any apps you already have or the ones you don't want. I don't think Endeavour comes with a firewall and my auto app and runconfig will install and activate it as well as Light DM with dark theme. But you already have a display manager (Login Manager). You could go through my auto app and manually install some of the things you want. My autoapp and runconfig scripts are really for an Arch Base installation which has no apps, window manager, or desktop installed. If you use the autoapp script, it will reinstall some of the apps you already have. It shouldn't change your settings because your settings are usually in your home .config folder.

​@@linuxmench2118 ah ok but since i''m new so do i do like yay -S package that's wot i learned from watching the arch command guide video basic

@@dhheisterYT Yay is an app to use for installing programs from the AUR. I recommend installing only packages from the official Arch repository. Sudo pacman -S firefox That's how you would install firefox.

lol thanks

You are welcome, glad you enjoyed the video and your installation went well.
