Awesome video Chris! (Pun intended) I have a question about scaling though. I've been using Pop! OS for about a year and I love the distro. I really like the Pop Shell extension that provides window tiling, but I want to fully try out AwesomeWM and see if a full tiling WM is better for my usage. I have AwesomeWM fully installed, themed, and running. However, my monitor is a 65- Sony TV and everything is WAY TOO small. With the Pop Shell, there is a setting under displays that allows me to scale (200% works great), and to turn on HiDPI. I've done some preliminary Internet searches, but really haven't found anything that talks about scaling AwesomeWM for use with large-screen TVs. Is there a setting in the LUA confoguration files or lxappearance that I am missing?

Can you please make a script which will completely uninstall the chromium edge and older edge from Windows 20H2 version?
Also include the removal of cortana from windows 10 20H2 as well, while keeping the search feature intact.
I believe a lot of people like myself would be looking for these scripts.
I did come across a script on the internet, which claimed it would uninstall the edge from Windows 10 version 1903.
I could not test the script back then due to busy schedule and now I am unable to find the link to that website.

On your GitHub page you say:
-Start lxappearance to activate the icon theme and GTK theme. Note: for cursor theme, edit -/.icons/default/index.theme and -/.config/gtk3-0/settings.ini, for the change to also show up in applications run as root, copy the 2 files over to their respective place in /root-
What should those edit look like? Neither of these files exist on my system (fresh install of LXQT).
Thanks

I don't have archive manager either. Knew I should of stayed with what I had. It's all over the shop now. It's plain and everything is hidden behind another tab. I can't find things it's just stressful man. I've been following this for over 4 hours listening to you say the same things over and over and still can't find things your clicking and some don't even exist

I don't comment often, and also watch mostly off the TV from another specific account, but this I would like to see every month or so, explaining how to configure different environments, or AwesomeWM to different things.
Thanks for the videos, they really are awesome, pun intended -

I installed this on VirtualBox and everything loaded. When I open a terminal, it doesn't allow me to type anything into it. Also, many other things. I open the main search super+r and it won't let me type into it. What am I doing wrong?

Hey Chris, is there any reason as why none of my applications want to close in awesome? They don't seem to be running anymore (e.g. nautilus) but when I do Super+Q or click the close button it still shows the not responding interface

Hi Chris, You are doing an awesome job. I would like to know if you have made any videos for installations without the grub bootloader. If not then please do a video on that especially for Arch Linux without the grub bootloader.
