    With the help of your videos I finally took the plunge (into the deep end) and installed Arch on my daily driver PC/gaming rig after 28 years of Windows (I went Arch+BTRFS+KDE). Almost 3 weeks later and it's going well so far. THANK YOU

    Been watching your videos for the last week or two, installed some examples in KVM/QEMU, and played around with them. Even considering replacing my trusty Linux Mint installation with Arch. Your work is so easy to follow and understand, well done!
    One remark: in the video around 18:10 you can also add the user's full name by adding -c "Ermanno Ferrari" to the usermod command. Now when you enter the greeter for the first time your name is already there. Bet you know that.

    I have used arch since 2012, not as my main OS, however there is a thing the frequently fails on upgrades and this is the X11, after doing an upgrade I have more than once encountered i3 or cinnamon no longer working; the only reason for installing a GUI on my end is the need to check some of my work in FireFox or Brave. If I was to run vim and tmux only I would not have had any issues with the upgrades. I get some kind of E: Nvidia message in the error log of X11 when this happened( on at least 3 iterations of the upgrades. ) My option has been to reinstall the entire system. The benefit of arch linux is also its lack of such; I mean your install is not solid as a rock in which I have been used to with debian; 1998 on.

    Hi EF, I found success with this tutorial despite it being somewhat old, and the repo name mismatch wasn't an issue - I just had to simply modify those scripts to fit my settings, but I noticed an alarming error upon running pacstrap, the message is as follows: invalid ENCRYPT_METHOD value: 'YESCRYPT'. This may have something to do with SHA512 being removed as the default password hash method as of 2023-09-22 which was fairly recent. This didn't affect my system as its running great, just wondering if I should be worried lol. Thanks again

  • @mattmaks

    First of all - thank you for your great work. I use Arch for about 10 year now. I would like to ask you a few questions:
    1) I've got simple test server with software raid 1 and I need to rebuild it from scratch. What would you recommend: make software raid 1 (with mdadm) and then format to btrfs or make btrfs raid 1? I tried to find pros and cons both of these solutions but I'm still not sure what to choose.
    2) Do you plan to make videos for more advanced users? I would like to learn more about docker.
    3) I think you should add one more dependency to your xfce.sh. When you install xfce4-goodies then parole will be installed too but I does not play for example mp4 files because gst-libav package is missing.

      it is same process as initial setuping btrfs for primal drive. But change device /dev/nvme2* part, map with different name to mapper. mount it, make there needed subvolumes. And then unmount and using blkid take UUIDs and add subvolume entries to /etc/fstab as you wish (where you need mount second drive) Also you options in time shift will be changed, You might need to change configuration for snapshots.

      No easy way, no one in sane mind will do such tricks with 1 drive on live system with VALUABLE data. Cause changing volume FS will erase data (not actually erase, but marked as free space and coding will be different, so generic user will lose all data). Also almost any config files for your apps you can backup and then add them to new installed system by merging.
      First off backup all needed data from drive to another drive/SDcard/Cloud/etc. Then do "migrate" as new installation.
      Edit: When working with computers stuff - first make your backups and keep them safe, then do some voodoo.

    Hello, I have two questions: 1. Is the btrfs system usefull for a normal user of Linux ? i do not have raids nor do i need a lot of iotas so can i stick with the ext4 system or should i reinstall it with btrfs ? My second question is way more important for me: after installing arch from your video "from terminal to productivity" i have the problem that libreoffice can´t be deinstalled and doesn´t have the right language (german) which i would prefer. How can i fix this ? either deinstall libre or add the german language ? the option inside libre doesnt give me the option to add new languages. Please help. Thank you.

      Make sure btrfs-progs is installed and that btrfs is in the modules section of mkinitcpio.conf
