I'm old, so I used a real ASR 33 (tty) for work and editing my program source on a timesharing system, shared between say 100 programmers using say 3 x 10 ASR-33's). The ASR 33 worked at a whopping 10 chars/sec, fortunately 1 year later we got a synchronous display terminal (24 lines of 80 chars) and say 16 displays shared one 9600 bps line (1200 chars/sec). After completing the program source or its change, you started a batch job for compiling and linking the program. If you're lucky the batch job would run within an hour. If you're unlucky you got the results back next morning. The computer had 512 KB of fast core memory (1 MHz) and 2 MB of slow core memory (400 KHz), but it had a real 32 bits CPU (Philips P1400) and not a fake 32 bits calculating at 2 x 16 bits (P1200) or 4 x 8 bits (P1100). Those were the days .........
By the way that hit song by Mary Hopkins is from the same time :)

It is important to know what a TTY is on the road to Arch Linux, because you're going to be living in one for the install process. I'd also like to mention that you can move between the TTY's be using ALT+the arrow keys. This moves you over a single TTY which is nice if you want to jump back and forth quickly, like say between your active command line and the Arch Install Guide.

Great video. You forgot to mention one of the most common uses of tty when it comes to server admin duties: using the tty to login as a different user while not logging out of your current active user. Comes in real handy when doing system admin tasks

What you call -tty- is actually called -virtual terminal-. A -tty- is actually a character device that represents a connection to ANY kind of terminal, be it an old teletype, a newer CRT-based terminal, a Linux virtual terminal or a terminal emulator.

When you change the system version in a LTS distro It is normally a good idea to use a tty for that since some packages are removed and xorg normally crashes. For arch I don't think it happens frequently tough

If I had a nickle for every Raspberry Pi blog I've seen with instructions to the effect of:
Step 1. log in
Step 2. type 'startx'
Step 3. open the terminal emulator and type these commands...

Great video as always
If you can make a video for fuzzy finder (fzf) for terminal and vim because it will help all the command line users and i think it will be very interesting video.

What a dissapointment. I already knew these things. I thought you're gonna demonstrate a real TTY and show show how to hook them up on a host.

The image of the mechanical printer and keyboard reminds me of my starting out in IT. I used those machines. They were very noisy and reliable.
