We would like to have an ArcoLinuxS Xanmod with Chadwm.
In this video, the creator discusses updates to an ArcoLinuxB desktop environment, specifically mentioning a transition from a white tint to a black background as part of continuous development. This change was inspired by a contributor named Sam, who provided code to improve the open box or extended open box desktop experience.
The video reflects on the evolution of the project, starting with Openbox the initial desktop environment and expanding to include i3, XFCE, and other desktop environments as the ArcoLinux project grew. The creator shares a bit of history about the project’s development over six years and its branching out from Arch Labs to what is now known as ArcoLinux.
A significant portion of the video demonstrates how to customize the ArcoLinuxB environment by fetching wallpapers from Wallhaven using a script and tweaking desktop settings. The creator emphasizes the minimalist approach of ArcoLinuxB ISOs, which typically include just one browser and essential applications to maintain simplicity.
The focus shifts to building a custom ISO with specific desktop environments, such as combining Plasma with CHADWM, and the freedom ArcoLinuxB offers to build your ISO based on provided templates. The video tutorial guides viewers through the process of creating a custom ISO, starting with cloning the necessary GitHub repository, selecting and installing desired desktop environments, and adjusting package lists to include or exclude certain applications based on personal preference.
Throughout the video, the creator uses various command-line tools and scripts to demonstrate the customization process, highlighting the importance of choosing the right packages and configurations to suit individual needs. The creator’s project involves creating an ArcoLinuxB XS ISO with CHADWM, showing the steps to achieve this combination and explaining the reasoning behind certain choices, such as preferring XFCE elements for their utility in different desktop environments.
The video concludes with the creator building the custom ISO, addressing potential issues with package retrieval, and preparing to test the newly created ISO in a virtual machine. The tutorial is presented as both an informative guide and a personal project narrative, illustrating the flexibility and creativity possible within the ArcoLinuxB ecosystem.
The video delves into the necessity of certain packages for the CHADWM environment, questioning the inclusion of utilities like nitrogen and verifying their presence or absence in the build. The creator highlights the importance of selecting packages that enhance the user experience without overloading the system, aiming for a balance between functionality and simplicity.
The tutorial covers the git clone and git pull commands, allowing users to stay updated with the latest changes in the configuration, such as the decision to revert to using a volume icon for better user interface experience. The creator stresses the minimalistic nature of the ArcoLinuxB ISOs, encouraging users to install additional applications as needed.
Setting up a virtual machine to test the ISO, the creator outlines the recommended system requirements and installation steps, including partitioning choices and the decision-making process during the Calamares installer setup. The video provides a detailed look at the installation process, from choosing the right settings in VirtualBox to navigating the Calamares installer for a successful setup.
After installation, the creator demonstrates logging into the CHADWM environment, highlighting the flexibility of ArcoLinuxB to accommodate different desktop environments and window managers. The video concludes with plans for a follow-up tutorial focused on installing additional software, emphasizing the project’s goal of providing users with the knowledge and tools to customize their operating system to their preferences.
This video serves as a valuable resource for users looking to build and customize their own ArcoLinuxB ISO, offering insights into the technical aspects of package selection, ISO testing, and the installation process.
In this tutorial, the presenter guides viewers through configuring an ArcoLinuxB Openbox environment that integrates CHADWM with ArcoLinuxB XS XanMod, highlighting the fusion of XFCE and CHADWM within the system. This setup is designed to auto-login directly into CHADWM instead of XFCE, showcasing the flexibility in desktop environment choices, including options for multi-desktop and Wayland setups.
The presenter emphasizes the minimal software installation by default, recommending the use of scripts for personalizing and managing software installations. These scripts, which users are encouraged to modify and host on their own GitHub repositories, automate the installation process, allowing for easy customization and removal of unwanted packages across various desktop environments like ArchCraft, EndeavourOS, and others.
Key to the tutorial is the demonstration of how to be in control of your system by selectively adding or removing software according to personal preference. The presenter walks through the execution of these scripts, suggesting taking a break while the scripts run to efficiently manage time.
The video concludes with advice on saving bandwidth by selectively stopping certain package installations if deemed unnecessary, further underscoring the customization aspect of ArcoLinuxB. The presenter encourages viewers to adapt the Nemesis Scripts to their needs, ensuring their GitHub repository reflects their personal choices and preferences, ultimately enjoying a system tailored specifically to their requirements.
