      @@gardenapple I disagree. It's not much of a leap from Manjaro to Arch. Read the wiki; start familiarizing yourself with the install instructions. You can do it! Put your back into it!

    BTRFS and subvolumes. :) And you not need to reinstall Arch, just boot from snapshot. Multiboot is not needed because it is much easier to use VM and containers.

    finally, someone who has a decently sized swap partition, and a reasonable partitioning scheme! (I don't know who these people are who say you either don't need swap or only need 1.5 to 2x RAM capacity. People who don't open a bajillion tabs like some of us, obviously! (Or have limitless RAM)). Good job overall.

    We still use multiple partitions because UEFI can't be in a LVM volume. I have multiple distros installed on my LVM partition. I never have to wipe the EFI partition. Doing an install doesn't screw up the EFI partition for the other distros. If i screw up grub I can still boot to the other distros.
    You missed the point of splitting var/home/whatever for snapshots/backup/restore reasons. But with btrfs it would all be on the same LVM volume but separate btrfs volumes.

    Yeah, the problems start when you need to resize a partition ;) Which is why I prefer as few partitions as possibe, maybe even multiple drives like you have.

    Brodie, my man , yet another great video
    I have a question, you seem like a cool guy who's interested in a bunch of cool things, I was wondering , how do you go about TIME MANAGEMENT? Do you follow a hyper-strict schedule or is it more of a sporadic and spontaneous "hmm I have some free time I feel like doing this cool thing" ?
    Curious to hear your thoughts

      I've been trying to mess around with my time management as of late because I've been feeling like I've been stressed to make a video every single day so what I've started doing now is planning out all my videos in the previous week then for the first few days I smash everything out, then to actually plan out the videos for the following week I just mess around with stuff as I feel like it really. I live in a share house so my bills aren't that high, I can afford to only work a few hours at my other job. One thing that does help me a lot is making a list of everything I want to get done in a day.

    I have a 40GB for /root, just because I have a very large hard drive and I don’t game on my PC, I have double my RAM on swap, again because “why not”, I’ve got the space unused. I do text files mostly and besides my home is scary large 😀. I think the way you’ve done it with a completely different physical drive is clever, next I’ll try that. Then you never have to worry even if you decide to change distros.

    _Are you saying my BIOS system shouldn’t have a /boot partition?!_
    Also, you didn’t mention the superior system of partitioning your partition, as done by the BSDs and by Plan 9: In the BSDs, for example, you have a separate _disklabel,_ which acts as a partition table used by the BSD, independent of the MBR or GPT partitions. The disklabel partitions can be the same as your “native” partitions or they can be parts of the native partitions (or anything else).

      Ages ago I installed 1 distro per 1 partition. No separate /boot. Grub was installed on the partition instead of the disk. To boot to another distro I would just make that partition active then reboot. With EFI I still don't use a separate /boot. Just a single /boot/efi to rule every distro.

    Why would you install games in root? I have separate root and home and I have Steam install games into ~/Games.

      I don't actually have any games installed I had just assumed that's where they would go like other binaries.
