RICEing comes from the car world where you would modify your Honda Civic. It stands for Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. It's funny how it still applies on Linux 😂
something I recently learnt was that you can do "sudo !!" to run the last command with sudo, super helpful if you forget to start a command like pacman with sudo
@typecraft_dev I love everything about this channel. Your humor, detailed walkthrus and explanations while moving at a nice pace, and even your intro. I can't get enough!
Great timing! I used to be a big i3wm guy when I started my linux journey, but I got lazy and bounced back to Gnome. These days I've been craving a tiling window manager, and just yesterday I installed i3wm, awesome and hyprland Gonna try this config for my i3. cheers
I've been following this channel ever since that first video about neovim configurations and I really love where this is going. Thank you Chris, and please keep up the awesome work!
Thanks so much for this video series. Kinda new to Linux and was struggling to set up qtile. Your video made using tilling wms intuitive. You made i3 soooo easy to set up. I didn't feel like I was copying code, I felt like I knew what I was doing. Great!
these videos are actually what is getting to plan to switch from ubuntu to arch/i3. havent done that yet because it always kinda scared me but these videos make it super approachable
@@PedroMorenoSantanna hey you had any difficulty follwoing the steps in ubuntu? I want to give a shot at the tutorial but I use mint thats why I am asking
Hey thanks a TON for this. I've got Hyprland running on my non-nVidia machines but my main PC just won't play nice with it. Haven't had the time to focus on getting a sane i3 setup, so you really helped cut through the crap and get me up and running fast. I've now got my i3 config to roughly match hyprland so all the hotkeys are the same, etc. Wonderful stuff. So much better than managing free floating windows.
I hate your videos! *They are so well done, I didn’t skip you ad* 🤣 Seriously, some of the best tutorials I’ve seen outside of the DaVinci Resolve content I watch.
rather than using the feh i would suggest using the nitrogen and just put exec nitrogen --restore in i3 config it will do it's job. it's much simpler to use.
17:06 i think i have problem here but i didn't figure it when i write the command ``exec_always --no-startup--id killall polybar`` when i refresh the window all the polybar kill them without having any polybar
What you can try here is forcing the activation command to sleep for 0.3-0.4 seconds. so the killall stays the same. The command right below it, add sleep 0.3 && polybar, worked for me.
AFAIK, support and development for YAY ended some 3-4 years ago, when its main creator and maintainer left the project and started PARU. While you can still install and use YAY, no further upgrades and patches are or will be available. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
I don't know why but using the "exec_always --no-startup-id ~/.config/polybar/launch_polybar.sh" script works better than "exec_always --no-startup-id polybar". After log in most times polybar doesn't start using "exec_always --no-startup-id polybar" in ~/.config/i3/config. 👍
@@AlexGhoro Did you refer the correct path to the script. I believe that maybe there is typo or a misconfiguration with all my respect, because the script works like a charm!
I'm very impressed with your Linux config knowledge. I was just configuring a Debian/IceWM desktop and read in multiple sources that XServer allows any application running on your XServer desktop to access keyboard keypresses WITHOUT root access. I also read Wayland was designed to prevent every application on your Linux desktop from having the ability to become a keylogger. Are you aware of any way to prevent this non-root keylogger risk? Also, you mentioned your MAC use. Does MAC have the same problem? Not for sure if being Linux they also use XServer. Thanks.
Are you using neofetch or another fetch program like fastfetch? Would be cool to see that configuration too although I'm sure it's not very complicated haha
cant get the battery to show up in polybar... can anybody help me fix this?? edit: i fixed it-- in the polybar config file change: battery = BAT1 to battery = BAT0
if you guys have a higher refresh rate monitor (e.g 75hz, 144hz, 165hz, etc) and resolution, don't forget to install and use xrandr, put that on your i3 config as well.
the poly bar does not open i3 manages to kill it even if you put the killall command on top of the config idk how to fix it xd ecpect just creating a keybind and starting it manualy
Please put an epilepsy warning or something before you switch between the terminal and Firefox really fast, thank you and I am loving the series so far!
great video mate. in the next video could you deeper into fonts configuration. im also running i3wm on arch but can't figure out how to change the default font in the webbrowser whenever code inserts are shown.
i have been following this course from the start and not one of the key commands that you use have worked on my system... super + enter / super + t / mod shift r..... they either do nothing or they do something completely different... itś making me very nervous that i was able finally to change font size from 8 to 14 then hit mod shift r and nothing happens apart from adding gibberish to my config file :(
My brother in Christ if you don't know what nvim is.. this is not for you. First look up a basic guide to use vim (not nvim) and then do sudo pacman -S neovim
Loving this series (and I dont even use a developer/coding workflow) I can set up in a VM but do you have any tips/resources for using archinstall on an already partitioned disk, haven't made it past that roadblock to run on bare metal
@@KetanCSE I had the same problem. I ran your command. But then I run the first command again and I get nothing. Just an empty textfile. It feels like this guy making the video skips a lot of steps. I guess I will have to google for a while.
The lack of ricing on the Pacman config bothers me. That's usually the first thing I do with a new install; makes things look less bland when things get going.
oh god, I spent all my day trying awesomewm, then i3, then hyprland, and back to i3. then I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the screen tearing, found picom, and tried many bar packages and configs. and now, when I'm about to sleep, I found that video explaining everything 😅 awesome content man. thank you so much
Great Series! I have just switch to im3 from watching it, but in Debian. I noticed that i3 already comes with a line for rofi (that is commented). Also I did not find the need for picom (or my eyes are fried, not sure which one). Looking foward for the next one.
Great overview thank you. The dotfile are really useful, and i like the mode icons in rofi, but can't find where these are coming from. I though it was the Meslo nerd fronts but these are less detailed and monochromatic. Is there an emoji source or font that is being used? I also downloaded the jetbrains fonts but that did not seem to resolve them either.
I solve a lots of steps you skip via Google and your comments. But I cant write in the file. If I do erase with backspace it just moves over the letters. But I found out I can delete the text with the Del button. But I cant write anything. When I press the letters on my keyboard nothing happens. When I tried to write Meslo I can clearly see you write a capital M. When I press shift+m it just move the cursor to another location in the file. When I use the CapsLock+m it still just moves the cursor. How do I save the file? How do I quit the file? I managed to quit the file but when I try to reopen the file it says its already open. This don't work. Anyone know a tutorial that works?
I cloned the dotfiles repository into /opt/ out of habit and it created the symlink in /opt as .config instead of the ~/.config directory. Cloning the dotfiles into my home directory and running picom fixed this behavior. It's possible to manually set the target using flags in stow if you prefer to have the git repos in /opt, but I'm following the tutorial for now.
I am having trouble with clip board sharing in i3, it works perfectly fine in gnome but when i switch to i3 i cannot share clipboard, any solution for this?
copied everything one to one, but somehow polybar gone for me once i added that line with "kill" also seems like rofi doesn't find all the apps i have installed toopen. like, for example, telegram, I can't open it. or password manager great tutorial tho
How do you settle down with your setups? Like seriously, whenever I go to the unixporn subreddit I feel stupid - Other people ricing looks soo good and smooth while mine pales in comparison and then I have to start all over again with new tools and window managers only to go to the subreddit again and to find some new things...
interesting vid that i bookmarked for future reference if/when KDE pisses me off enough to switch. i like the single config file. a couple recommendations for you though: 1) check out yadm if you haven't already for dotfile management, and 2) i like that you mentioned multiple monitors in this video, would love to have seen more of that in the previous video so perhaps something to add to future entries in this series...just my 0.00013XMR ($0.02 ;)
Switching to i3 was amazing, but I encountered some issues that affected my productivity. For example, I had trouble with connecting to Bluetooth, low battery reminders, clicking using the trackpad, taking screenshots, etc. Is there a way to fix these problems? I don't have the time to research them, so I've gone back to Fedora for now with improve to move workspace by super+number
What problems do you have with bluetooth? I always connect to my airpods when im on my arch machine. I just sudo systemctl start bluetooth, then I can connect to my device easily with a gui like blueman-manager
@@paladin9876 Normally DEs have a taskbar icon that allows you to access them, but here dont have anything of that sort. What do you do ? Connect to a bluetooth device on command lline ?
I fixed it. I put in an extra line "exec_always --no-startup-id "sh -c 'sleep 0.1; exec polybar" . I think it's because it loads the config "too" fast for it to catch up, so i put a bit of delay on the polybar startup after they all have been killed.
Awesome video! I do have a question though. I am currently using Pop-Os instead of Arch (and it is not a new install). After completing the whole installation + configuration of i3 I wanted to open some applications (other than firefox) and I could not find them in dmenu (nor rofi). Is there a reason for this ? For example i had to reinstall thunderbird and discord in order to call them while using i3. Is this happening to anyone else ? More importantly though, I can' t seem to open the system settings. As a result, I can' t connect my bluetooth headphones.... Without them I am afraid I won' t be able to listen to your videos as much D: Is this something that is related to polybar, the distribution, or i3 ?
When i try to reload the config of i3 i get an error "Error status_command not found or is missing a library dependency exit(127)" Any fix for this, sir? Edit : nvm fixed it, all we had to do was run "sudo pacman -S i3status" by default i3 set i3status as bar

by default i3 set i3status as bar
Thanks Nerds
