ATTENTION! Since uploading this video, I had problems with Polybar launching on startup. Now I just have "exec polybar example" at the end of my i3 config. I'll be looking more into it and possibly updating this video. Also, check below where I say "Unlike what I said in the video..."
How to set up Polybar on Linux for a nice-looking status bar.
I'm using i3 on Arch, but most of the video is applicable to any distro and DE/WM.

Thanks for watching!
Start by installing the polybar package from the AUR
Unlike what I said in the video, you do need to copy the config. So, do as follows:
mkdir -p ~/.config/polybar
cp /usr/share/doc/polybar/config ~/.config/polybar
And then you can continue by trying "polybar example" in a terminal
The link for the launch script I used that has support for multiple displays is here:
https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/763
Here is the launch script itself:
if type "xrandr"; then
for m in $(xrandr --query | grep " connected" | cut -d" " -f1); do
MONITOR=$m polybar --reload example &
done
else
polybar --reload example &
fi
And then in my polybar config, I have:
[bar/example]
monitor = ${env:MONITOR:}

Shame on this New York Times journalist for getting her basic quotation completely wrong. Peterson specifically said "I am NOT saying it should be banned" — the exact opposite of what she was saying. This is from a Munk debate that is worth watching despite the poor performance of the debaters on the left: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST6kj9OEYf0

Thank you to Bret Hudson for sponsoring this video on Patreon! Sorry I didn't add you into the video this time, I got it done in one take and was too lazy to edit the video and render it.

Music I made myself. Graphics are from a shader found online. I wrote my own program to take the shader and render it to a video.
