I'm addicted to Arch for laptops/desktops with about 10 machines locally and out in the world performing various tasks.
I chose to banish Windows from my realm a couple years ago or so. I still get a look at M$ and OS X when my friends and family need a fix. I always look for any opportunity to try to force people to use Linux. It practically never works but I keep trying.
I'm a big fan of "rat" machines so one thing I've come to love is the builtin systemd auto login. This helps keep boot times and memory use low which adds value to 6 year old and even much older machines.
I'm hoping Steam will eventually bring more functionality to Linux in general and maybe it has already but I'm not abreast of such wonders.Ā "Wine" is sometimes a nightmare but it's not always terrible and sometimes acceptable and it's free and is the base for Crossover Linux, which is a commercial solution which I have never tried but it seems I've heard it's a little better maybe sometimes.Ā Arch alleviates a little of the pain of the often inevitable brick wall collision with very recent versions of wine.Ā Of course, keep the wiki on your speed dial.
Can you explain what you have running here and how you got it to this point? I like the look of this kind of setup but I cannot find a good guide on how to get something like that
Well, it's on Arch for starters. Not important, though.
IRC client is irssi, the clock is tty-clock, the music player is MPD with the ncmpcpp client, the PDF viewer is apvlv, and the color script is called "pipes.sh". The bar at the top is "Bar Ain't Recursive", a UTF-8 fork, and the WM is Bspwm. I use a fairly boring Bspwmrc, just the default without borders, and less useless space. I can type up an actual guide for installing Bspwm if you want, but there is a simple one called "Bspwm for Dummies".
I tried installing Arch in VB to get the error but I f'd up somewhere. As soon as I see BrennanRiddell's guide onĀ Bspwm I'll reinstall Arch on my laptop using GPT and post the error.
