 In the time I've had a YouTube channel one of the most common questions I get is how do I get a setup that looks like yours? People have been always asking me how do I install these programs? How do I you know configure this program or something like that and obviously that's what a lot of my video content is on But a couple years ago as many of you may well know I put out larbs That's you can get it at L a r b s dot x y z and the idea behind it was just a series of series of shell scripts that can deploy dot files and Install required programs and set up set system settings Relatively a simple script. I mean it has like a nice little dialogue interface But just a little script to set stuff up for you and of course you can go to larbs or well specifically larbs dot x y z and Install it yourself on any kind of arch-based distro, and I've had this for a while I know a lot of you guys use it. I'll see people online using it So it's pretty much out there, and I know it's easy to fork as well Anyway as time has progressed as many of you know I've been using DWM and some of you have noticed that I'm actually not even using arch anymore I'm actually using void linux. I think I might do a video on that again You know two or two years or so ago. I switched to void linux, but that was only for a period and I went back to arch But either way the script of course larbs only works on arch and arch-based distros by default So it works on manjaro and some other things as well But I I'm thinking about basically forking the project or splitting it in half because really I'm using void linux more nowadays And I'm probably going to continue using DWM So there's now going to be I guess a legacy version of larbs That's going to have arch linux that can be installed on any kind of arch just the arch-based distro That has i3 and all the stuff that I've had on my channel before But I'm going to be putting out a new version of larbs pretty soon in fact, it's sort of already an alpha testing you can try it out if you really want but Once you install void linux, which the void linux install process is actually a little easier because they actually have like an auto installer for it But once you set up void linux, you can actually run a new larbs script You can get it at the get it at the website the link is there or at least the command is there and It will really just do the same thing but for void linux Actually, it's a little bit easier to do it on void linux because void linux doesn't have the AUR a lot of the Packages that I needed for Larbs on arch were actually in the AUR which is actually sort of a pain to get like it's a pain to settle that it's user permission Stuff and stuff like that, but so I'm thinking about basically splitting this project in two and For those of you who use it you can of course still use it and I'm still going to be updating the dot files for From before oh by the way the thing you're watching now. This is actually like the what is it? The geo the gorse whatever. I don't know what the program's name is the gorse visualization of the dot files repository So that's what you're seeing And you can see like it as it goes on. I actually clean a bunch of this junk up I look at it right now. I have like a separate vim folder now I actually have that all automatically downloaded or something like that, but So anyway, I will probably be switch. Oh, there it goes. Yeah, okay So I will probably be switching larbs in the long term to void linux But it's still gonna maintain compatibility which with arch Linux and you'll still you're still gonna be able to install the arch Linux version I'll just probably be updating it less and one of the reasons that this is sort of an okay for Okay thing for me to do is I notice that I've been changing the configs way less I like I think the arch Linux Settings with i3 and with all that kind of stuff I sort of stopped making major changes to them because they were pretty much as good as they I wanted them to be They were pretty much highly usable. I had a good manual and all that kind of stuff You know a lot of people have noted like if my if you install larbs, which isn't really its own distribution I mean, it's really just you know a script on top of a special configs for arch Linux or whatever But a lot of people have noted it's arguably better Documented than a lot of other like actual distributions because I put like a whole other read me and all this kind of junk in it But so anyway the void Linux version you can get right now But it doesn't have the documentation and I'm still messing with the builds mainly for surf and DWM so I'll be making lots of changes to those so you can install the void Linux version today right now if you want but you know, it's there it's not really gonna I I'm a little I guess cautious about it just because it's hard for me to it It's always been hard for me to tell people how to update because you really have to know how to use git and Some of it can depend on whatever but excuse me But yeah, the void Linux if you just want to play with it You can get the void Linux version again just goes go to larbs.xyz for all that kind of stuff and Now anyway, I'll be doing other videos on DWM and other things that I'm actually you if you've used larbs before you know, you can actually You can like stream videos from my YouTube channel with like a menu inside But I'm gonna be doing more stuff like that and I need to do the equivalence for DWM and that kind of things But anyway, once I do that it'll be totally done and there'll be an official release But that's gonna be all for now, so I'll see you guys next time
