This is my style of learning. Thank you.

Keep on doing scripting videos. I like them a lot. Great script btw. Regarding printf, you could incorporate new lines in just one command, e.g. printf "%s " "Your Text Here" would first print the string (%s) followed by a new line ( ). Or just use echo. Regarding the read commands: if you have a lot of similar read prompts, you could make a function, e.g. question() { read -rp "$1 " tmp; echo $tmp; } so you can specify the prompt and the variable afterwards, e.g. efipart=$(question "What size efi partition...?:"); rootpart=$(question "What size...")... When you find yourself to have a huge number of such similar questions, this could make the process a little easier. I tend to echo the question and have a function which contains " " as prompt: ", e.g. echo -n "choose something:"; var=$(question).

Thanks for the tips, I enjoy them as well so I will be trying to keep them a staple on my channel.

Awesome format! Looking forward to future episodes!

When you check for sfdisk, after the "please install sfdisk" message I would add an "exit 1" , since if sfdisk is not installed it's going to give you error afterwards. And I also would use " " in the printf at the end of the line, like this: "Bla bla bla bla " instead of creating just a "printf " "" to create a new line, but thats just my OCD :D Looking forward to watching the next video ;)

I agree, there is some debugging and optimization to do, but that is for another video. Thanks for watching and for your feedback I always appreciate it.

This is something I would watch even after being forced to use windows

One thing to consider, is there are a number of people that like to have /home on a second drive. With my system I've got a .5TB main drive and a 1TB secondary drive for /home.

Nice one, Jake. I'm interested to see the completed project. Looks like the beginnings of a customized linux install script. Should I delete this post to keep it a surprise? I will if you tell me to ;)

Thanks, and you may be right but you might be wrong as well. We will just have to see.

Nice video, thanks. I am not very experienced with shell scripting but know how to use fdesk and did install some distros in the past. this series will be a good resource for me to learn shell scripting.

Feel free to steal away, I am going to move it to its own repo here in a few days so it will be accessible, at least the parts I want to be accessible at the moment.

Hei Jake, this was a really cool video, really fun to watch you making the script and also very good to review basic stuff, I'm doing a shell script with a course and a book at the moment. Would be awesome if you keep this kind of video going, also de git one as cool too.

interactive shell scripts are great, I like to make central/general/global rofi launcher to run other rofi launchers

@JakeLinux

I enjoy those as well, I started using fzf instead of dmenu or rofi a while ago, but I may switch it up a little and use rofi

just call "sync" so it reads the changes done to filesystems instead of a pause

Welcome to the channel! Thanks for the like, comment, and sub I appreciate you. I'm not sure where the picture on my wallpaper was taken, I just liked the image and the colors made for a good system color scheme.

You made my OCD scream when you forgot to capitalize the "What" and to place the space in the correct place at the end in the homepart prompt.... I hope this counts as constructive criticism....

Another thing you could do is just prompt the user for the "sdx..." instead of the whole "/dev/sdx...". Here's and example in a function I created in my bashrc file to eject external devices from command line. It is in Spanish, but I think it can be understood well: expulsa() { lsblk -o NAME,TYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT echo; read -p ":: Unidad a expulsar (ej.: sdb1): /dev/" un_exp udisksctl unmount -b /dev/$un_exp udisksctl power-off -b /dev/$un_exp }
