Finally, DT has the power to bully Arch Users.
Was waiting for this. Something beautiful to fall asleep to
I'm sitting here wondering to my self.. how did I get to a point where I'm actively watching a Gentoo installation and enjoying it. Thanks as always DT
Any time one of my subscribers ask me to do this, I'll now point them to this.
Yesterday was my big day: I achieved 1080p60 recording in OBS, was like impossible to me for years. I made psychonauts 2 review, completely on my Arch installation, without even any proprietary software (used kdenlive + obs + gimp). I even managed to record gameplay video of that game. It just came out. I'm so happy with this goal reached. I'm also very happy that I can now be free of any proprietary software and still make videos. I was making videos for years in sony begas and then in premiere pro for some more years. All of that would be impossible if not your easy arch installation guide. Thank you, DT!
I tried gentoo around 2001 and quickly decided and I don't need to spend my life with a system like this, it's got it's people and I ain't one of them. Vanilla Arch is fine for me.
sees Gentoo install in the title: calm sees video length: panic
Hey DT, please add timestamps, those are useful in these kinds of videos.
6:54 "Ctrl+C will kill the pain." If only it were that simple. If only it were that simple...
I just chugged an hour of content like it was nothing. It's almost 3 AM. THIS is the kind of content I would pay for, great video DT.
I've been using gentoo since gentoo has been available. Since 2001. I have never installed it like this. Not even once. Take advantage of what linux has to offer. You don't need to install it in place. On final hardware. You can just install, upgrade and perfect it in chroot. Here's what I do. I look for a machine with reasonable hardware and some reasonable space. Without vm or anything fancy, you just pull stage 3, unpack it in some random directory (personally i prefer ramfs or tmpfs to do this), and mount dev proc sys dev/pts dev/shm, then install it to your heart content (in chroot). you can take as long as you want with this step. install X & gui too. browser. whatever. When you are done, you unmount dev proc sys dev/pts dev/shm and whatever else you needed in the process, tar the whole thing up as YOUR stage3, and now when you just do partition, formatting, untar, grub and ye done.
At 10:50, you can see the partition reads out GiB instead of GB. This is a Gibibyte, which is the binary measurement for bytes instead of the decimal Gigabyte measurement. Most manufacturers and developers use GiB, but label it as GB out of habit, like how drives A and B on Windows are still reserved for floppy drives unless manually assigned.

This makes Arch installation process looks like beginner level, Thank you DT
11:06 Note that sufficient swap space is needed if you inted to use hybernate on the machine. So if that is the case use a size of swap greater then your RAM size.
have you slept well? it seems that you look tired and need a break . i hope you rest well and take care of your health DT
I'm a little speechless. I was about 34 minutes into the video and I needed a break lol. My hats off to you, sir.
The definition of patience!!! Hats off to you sir!!
You guys are welcome. (I'm the Gentoo guy from the last patron chat)
