Luke was one step from installing emacs - history is being made

I use arch by the way

I use -Qo (which package owns a file) and -Ql (list the files in a package) sometimes. They're useful.

Luke: Ofcourse I dont want to install emacs Internet: 3 hour video of "emacs is way of living"

Just installed Manjaro. This was helpful, thanks Luke.

Daily uploads.. This man gonna dethrone PewDiePie soon.

Thank you, all the other videos I watched I was unable to see what they were typing, and did not explain it very well. I learned from yours, and probably will rewatch to remember it. Since I got really sick in 2017 I can not go anywhere, Im now learning arch now.

Thank you! I'm new to manjaro and coming from windows/debian based background, so you can say I needed this video lol

As a long time debian/ubuntu/mint user making the switch to Manjaro - this video hit the spot in terms of comparing apt to pacman. Thanks!

Just installed Garuda alongside Kubuntu and needed to learn something about Arch commands. Your video was great for the head-start I needed. Thank you very much!

Thank you for this video! By far the most comprehensive guide all in 20 minutes!

This video was quite helpful thanks Luke. I leaned a thing or two.

Dude, you r a rockstar! Just started using Arch. Like it a lot. References you give here in this video are great! Even though this video is a year old, it will remain timeless. Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you! Will be subscribing.

Thanks for this. Always liked the elegance of pacman, but its syntax was a learning curve for me, knowing apt by muscle memory. I've mostly been using Debian or its derivatives for years but wanted to give Arch or one of its own forks another go.

Hey bro, thanks for this video. Just moved from ubuntu to arch and you just made it so easy for me. Thanks a lot for this awesome tutorial ^_^

I used i3 first time using your LARBS. Now I run my i3 on Arch linux using my own configuration. Thanks to your language research.

This was super helpful dude thank you. Have come over to Arch after 15+ years on Debian based linux.

Great video, I like this positive vibe in all your videos (at least in these that I have watched :D). I was always worried to use arch, because of quite many opinions, that a single system update (kernel update I guess) can make the system unusable. Maybe it is a good topic for a video, how does it look from a expert's perspective, how good is the stability, could a programmer, that has some assignments to do with deadlines afford to use arch not worrying about everything crashing in a minute? Btw I am looking forward to more arch related stuff :)

I think this is the best explanation of Arch's commands for a beginner. Great video and thanks for sharing.

Top video Luke. Thanks for sharing these great commands. I’m new to arch but so far loving it and with this kinda videos it makes a positive difference with the learning curve. 5*

Realy good video, learned a few things and I have been using Arch for years! :0

These small perks are very helpful. Thanks

Well articulated Luke. Really helpful in getting me started with Arch. I use Mint, but now I use Arch, btw.

This is a great video thanks Luke!

This video should come bundled with Arch/Manjaro.

Snap, im a year late on the comments, swindows user for years and recently wiped my old laptop clean and installed Manjaro XFCE, been struggling through it all and then this guy comes along and is a GOd Send!!!! Luke is A God!! THank YOu

Your videos are really great, I am most gratful for them. All the best.

great video for coming back to every now and then !

Good enough introduction? It was a wonderful introduction! Thank You.

finally a video about emacs, we are saved!

2:53 Luke confirmed uses emacs

"pacman -Syu" my brain: syuuuuuuuu~ [macoto asmr]

Really well explained, I'll be coming back to this video, thanks

amazing, this makes rtfm so much easier!

Thank-you, im so new to linux and im on arch rn but not giving up. I wasn't sure waht pacman was exactly. And when updating pacman i thought I was only updating Pacman itself not all of my applications.

Teaching (like scripts) should always start with the --full-word-parameter and then once explained you can move on the short variants.

the new pacman things for me: 4:51 pacman -Ss ^emacs > _"regex for starts with [can be useful]"_ 16:32 pacman -Sc _[sync clean]_ 12:05 /etc/pacman.conf 11:40 > _"in addition to that..."_ ones mostly related to basic unix 😅: 7:30 wc -l > _"word count by lines to count installed packages"_ 16:13 df -h [disk file usage]

Been using Ubuntu for years and recently switched for Manjaro, this is exactly the video I was looking for! Translation Luke, you gained a new subscriber here :)

Who still uses apt-get? gotta save time with just using apt

Thx, learned a lot👍👍👍👍

This was good, I see a lot of people asking about these exact concepts all of the time. Especially with the removing of no longer needed packages and the purging of config files. In Debian its sudo apt remove --purge theprogram and that will get rid of anything not needed by another program in the system and its configs. This video made me check my package count 3110 jeeez. What is the equivalent of cloning your repos for package migration ? In Debian you can use apt-clone and will tar up the packages and then you restore on a new system. How do I do that in Arch......?

appreciate the vid. thumbs up

Pretty nice tutorial 👌

Thank You and very good lesson

Nice and clear - thanks

you probably know u can always do - sudo !! which will just copy the previous command and add sudo to it

I will be switching to Void at some point, but until then, I prefer using pacman-mirrors to sort the mirrors. It's easy and does the job better than monkeys can. For example: $ sudo pacman-mirrors -f10 will generate a list with up-to-date mirrors (however many you choose, 10 in this example) and check which ones are the fastest. Depending on the network congestion (either or both client and server), this may change order, but it has been pretty accurate for me. Otherwise, you may want to run: $ sudo pacman-mirrors -c COUNTRY1,COUNTRY2,COUNTRY3 will obviously generate a list with the order of whatever countries you specify. $ sudo pacman-mirrors --geoip will use your country location to generate mirrors (I don't like geoip $ sudo pacman-mirrors --continent is the same as --geoip, but instead of country, it gives you a whole continent of mirrors. You can use -d to get back to defaults, or -i to generate custom mirrors (basically like editing the conf file).

16:22 A note here from another Arch user (btw), this is opinion-based but I think unless you are critically short of disk space it's better to keep that cache (or at least two prior versions for each pkg) because I you need for whatever reason downgrade some package you can easily install the package from there and offline.

you are allocating all of your RAM to /tmp , that's where one can tell you compile your kernel a lot

thanks for the informations

thank you for this

thanks luke : )

Dont forget to upgrade every 4 hours or your install breaks

Very good, thank you.

Thank you Very comprehensive. Now I have a better idea of what I've done with pacman. Keyrings don't seem too complicated to update either. If you read this. I am familiar with Initframs on debian based. I turned off bios updates on my debians. How do I turn it off in arch? does arch update bios and microcode?

Very nice. Thx

The importance of this video cannot be overstated. It is mandatory viewing for those about to install Arch.

Mingw x64 on windows also uses pacman for managing packages :)

4:43 > _"pacman -Ss emacs"_ so, there's zile (emacs clone), mg (micro gnu/emacs); emacs-muse, auctex, texmacs (publishing & tex related)

Another great video

thanks sir really helpfull for me

Hows about to prehook a reflector update for optmize the mirrors?

Nice vid 👍

6:00 sudo !!

Create more content on Arch Based Linux.......✌this tutorial is awesome.

So, what is the best, stable way to install packages in Arch? "pacman -S packagename", or "pacman -Syu packagename"?

Switched to arch-kde from ubuntu-gnome Flawless gaming so far, just took a bit of getting used to the arch website/dependencies

Great video! I really like the terminal, what is it's name?

suggest another video with more advanced stuff, ie what do you do when Pacman reports new configuration files

Thanks. You're back again to Arch linux. I've been missing your linux videos. Go Ahead language researcher. You're doing great in computer language. That's what computer science stands for. Everyone can get into computer science.

8:21 > _"packages that are explicitly installed"_ on msys2 on windows, i find pacman -Q --unrequired (or pacman -Qt) to be better than -Q --explicit but i don't know the exact technical differences between them 9:51 yeah, the -t option got a mention here, but only in context of deps

you should do a video about Nix package manager too

Amazing video

If you uncomment the bash-completion on debian-systems in /etc/bash.bashrc, you get the completion of the package-names, when you type "sudo apt install " + Is there a bash-/zsh-completion for pacman as well ?

terrific !! hehehehe greetings from Chile !!

Did Luke did anything about Rassbery Pi class computers?

Thanks for the great video. I learned plenty. One question if I may. How did you get your name [luke@core etc to show up in color?

Finally I found someone who can compete with my internet speed.

Syu in Msys2 does not upgrade the kernel?! I am still on kernel 3.something in mingw

1:25 "of course I don't actually want to install emacs" D:

Started switching to endeavor os

Is there a better way to get a new mirror file than ripping it from a new iso? The arch wiki suggested to delete unwanted mirrors and I did so. Turns out my list is pretty short. Also some new servers might have been added, so is there a good way?

Okay @Luke, what have you done to your terminal now?

Yeah I installed Garuda which is arch based and was kinda confused my no apt commands were working

Whet happens when you get rid of your dependencies for a particlular program and something you installed later uses those dependencies. Will the later program break?

Would this stuff work on the steam deck it runs on arch Linux

Hey @Luke Smith I am going thru your LARBS build and Lots of scripts are not working because the programs that run them are not installed by default maybe should be good to double check that; How about doing Videos going thru the list in your .script Folder?

12:52 hahahaha

Which software you use for screen recording?

Question: have you done any python tutorials?

In a Win10 VBox vm, I built Arch and went with Openbox and Tint2 and Termite and I can't scroll up in termite to look at text. Why? How do I fix that and also I can't find any keybindings to start that terminal like ctrl+alt+t or F12. Any ideas there? Thanks

Hwy, let's say i downloaded a package once. Is there any way to save it for future so i can install it manually offline.

I would like to install TensorFlow Lite using arch Pacman and my instructions are for Debian Bullseye on an Orange Pi5 64bit GPU. What would be the best way to do this? 😎 Thank you.

My package cache seems to hold 9 months worth of packages and I can’t find any way to determine why that’s the case. I tried to grep the cache path in etc and var and usr, didn’t find anything of note and I don’t have pacman-contrib installed.

Could someone tell me which font Luke's using? I've been searching for a long while now...

Why do you use separate partitions for your home and root folders?

I'm new to arch and something I don't really get is why use a AUR helper such as YAY?

can you make a video about the sense or nonsense of vpns?

Luke summarised basic commands at 10:44

what distro/desktop env are you using? i like how the terminal looks
