It has never been easier to install arch. Simply use the `archinstall` command!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Make a bootable USB stick with `dd bs=4M if=path/to/archlinux-version-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdx conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress`
|
||
|
|
* Type `archinstall` once booted into USB
|
||
|
|
* Configure the system to your liking, here are some recommendations, but defaults should do it
|
||
|
|
* Use btrfs and use recommended sub volumes layout
|
||
|
|
* Use **encryption**
|
||
|
|
* Use systemd-boot
|
||
|
|
* Use NetworkManager for any desktop experience
|
||
|
|
* Pick a default desktop environment for desktop experience, e.g. [[KB/Linux/GNOME]], [[KB/Linux/Desktop/KDE/KDE]], [[KB/Linux/Desktop/i3]] or [[KB/Linux/Desktop/sway]]
