Sorry. Thought I could get this done in less time. Oh well. Overestimated myself.... yet again!! BTW, for Xorg only.

Can you make a video for Wayland?

[@guppygait]

Good stuff, love your channel. Was reading up on Qtile and this certainly helped things forward.
Just wondering, why not just pip install qtile?

[@Jarydwithay_]

Debian will not let you install python packages system wide through pip. While you could manually override this, trying to install pip packages outside of a virtual environment could cause version conflicts and break your system, especially on a distro that uses older packages like Debian.

[@guppygait]

@@Jarydwithay_ Well yes, you need to create and activate a venv first. But then you can just install and update qtile with pip instead of installing a git version. Works absolutely fine and seems to be easier to maintain.

You make great videos, I looked through all of them and there was nothing about awesomewm yet. What do you think? I hope it will appear soon.

[@dejanzabaljac6950]

Hey Drew, is there possibility that you can make video about Windowmaker, i am interested in that DE for a while but not sure if its worth it or not.
Thanks for a Qtile installation!

[@edbeckerich3737]

Just want to hop in and say, I LOVE QTILE!!!

[@edbeckerich3737]

I used this, it worked perfectly!! And as I love Qtile, you have my thanks for this video!!

[@DavidLee-jd5ot]

In vanilla arch with ly conlose it worked, I installed thorough pacman. Perhaps something missing in debian to install.

[@mesjatecrae2308]

That's not how to use python3 virtual environments - you should activate the environment then run your pip commands when inside the environment.
e.g.
> source /home/drew/.local/src/venv/bin/activate
then, you do the pip installs
>pip install psutils

I like the minimalism of Ly but it does not work on Fedora nor openSUSE

[@UnhingedNW]

Well if you want another 5 min video idea, I have been finding conflicting info on how to install a backports kernel on stable! Hahaha

[@JustAGuyLinux]

Thanks for the idea!
