Arch Linux

That fantastic joy of computers and of discovering things.

He installs NixOS and Arch Linux and everything he can get hold of.

Everything has to be modded and tweaked, and he puts a great many hours every week into programming.

He's really driven to optimize, which is great fun.

In this video I go over installing Arch Linux for the very first time.

so disclaimer on this video I'm just getting back from a Christmas party so I'm feeling pretty good and I figure what better time than trying to install Arch Linux for the very first time right now in a virtual machine so this isn't actually on my main system here mainly I don't have the hardware and everything set up to do that type of video just yet but hey hey hey we're live here this is I'm not even gonna edit that out Alright, whatever.

So, Arch Linux.

Arch Linux is getting installed right now by me.

I'm not drunk.

Just for the record.

Writing super blocks, done.

That sounds like it's good.

And that's where they test out a lot of things.

And OpenSUSE has a rolling release like an Arch Linux, which means everything stays up to date.

On I think it's Tumbleweed that has the rolling release where Leap is more of a Ubuntu style where it updates every six months to a year, I believe.

So let's go into Red Hat Linux.

And CentOS should follow shortly thereafter.

And they will switch the package manager to DNF.

and yum is what they are on right now both are pretty much the same dnf's a little bit better about finding dependencies where yum is still a little bit older people have released like yum 4 that helps with that but overall i highly recommend just using dnf when you can if you're using fedora most of your install commands will be dnf and if you're using an older version of centos or redhat 7 and before it's all going to be um but um that's it for this branch i'm not going to mention any of these other distributions because i don't recommend any of them uh the only thing that i might pause to say is hey oracle linux that's interesting but not something i recommend someone doing it's going to be one out of maybe 100 businesses that are going to be running that um most of all this other stuff is all going to be your those three are the ones you need to learn everything else uh there might be the obscure business that uses it but for the most part nobody else is going to be messing with it and you shouldn't either these are the three you should stick stick to in this fork and if you're just getting into it and you want to learn enterprise linux stick with fedora tinker around a lot of people like to run it as its main thing on my work pc it's what i run i use fedora 29 i'm bleeding edge at work for this at home i use a deviant based system but this is what i'm using right now All right, let's jump into the final part I wanted to go over, Arch Linux.

Now, you're like, you're jumping right over Gentoo.
