Hey there, everyone. I've created a youtube channel where I'll be uploading videos relating to Linux (particularly Arch Linux). I'm dedicating my first video as an Arch Linux installation tutorial. The reason is folks out there find the arch wiki a bit intimidating. Also, since no GUI is present in the installer, it complicates things. My goal in this video is to make you feel comfortable with the Arch Wiki so that you do not feel overwhelmed the next time you visit the site, and to provide you with the basic steps you need for installing Arch. Below I'm providing some important links you'll require for your Arch Linux installation. Also, I'm writing steps involved in installing arch linux.
ARCH LINUX INSTALLATION
STEPS
* Check efi system
* Connect to the internet (ip addr)
* Set timedate
* Partition hard drive (for efi - boot, swap, root)
* Format partitions
* Mount partitions
* Install arch (linux linux-firmware base base-devel vi vim nano networkmanager)
* Generate fstab (defines mount points)
* Enter new root system (arch-chroot /mnt)
* Set timezone
* Generate hwclock
* Edit locale.gen and generate locale
* Create locale.conf
* Create a hostname file
* Generate initramfs (not required but does not hurt either)
* Set root password
* Install boot loader
* Reboot
* Enable network manager
* Create a new user (using root is not a good idea)
* Install desktop manager (based on your preference)
