Arch-Linux Setup

A Guide To Install And Configure Arch-Linux The Way I like It (mostly for me to follow)

Why?

I often forget how to setup certain things and waste a lot of time re-googleing what I once already googled.

info

I have written an install-script that covers some of the steps described in this guide but only some and not all

The script is available at JonasunderscoreJones/ArchSystemSetup and can be run with the following command:

curl -sSL https://syssetup.jonasjones.dev | bash

It is strongly recommended to follow this guide and to not use this script.

Requirements

  • Arch Linux: Arch is technically required but most steps are almost identical on other distros, meaning that this guide can be followed for any distro (with a few exceptions)

System Types

This guide is available for multiple types of systems.

Desktop

Guide for PC and Laptop with a Desktop Environment

Server (headless)

Guide for a headless server without any kind of Desktop Environment or Window Manager
