This is the single most well articulated Arch advice I've ever seen, you need more subs :)

2 years late but, some extra good advice is to make a separate /home partition (i give root 30-50gb, with /home as last partition taking the rest of the drive). Its easier to deal with and to restore and back up. and another thing some people forget, is to make sure you have multilib enabled for 32 bit support in /etc/pacman, conf then run pacman -Sy. Ive seen a youtuber trying arch fail to do this and he couldn't even download steam from pacman.
Third extra thing is that if you want to use systemd-boot, you're best making the entirety of /boot as a 1-2GB efi partition instead of /boot/efi as a 100-200MB one.
Fourth (moreso just as good practice) would probably be downloading an extra kernel and its headers, like LTS, to have a backup in case the main kernel just dies someday. Grub will automatically find it after downloading and running "grub mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and add a boot entry for it.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Hands down one of the best Arch guides I’ve ever seen.

[colin]

[BlaqwD]

You might as well just call this an arch install guide

[GrazHero]

Great taste with that Waterworld SNES background music

[Alex-urvt]

You desereve so much more views man...

[monisrajput]

It seems installation video instead of trouble shooting

[pedroivovictorianobachega]

this is an installation guide. its a pretty good one, but theres nothing to help an arch user to troubleshoot eventual problems with the OS, only in installation.

Hi for some reason the iwctl device list doesnt show any device, while i was installing the operating system it worked, and know wifi just stopped after i created the profile, online i cant find much

[ranimungcal]

[jamasonry]

What happens if you don't have iwctl

[elliotphoenix]

Wait for me I'm going to wear my arch socks

[TheShadowKarl]

While I was installing Arch I had wireless connectivity and was using it and as I was getting closer to completing installation I discovered I know longer had wireless connection. I tried to use iwctl and it said it could not find the command and it also no longer showed the wireless internet option (wlan0) which was present earlier in the install. How do I fix this?

[glidersuzuki]

Is manjaro still the best arch distro?

[glidersuzuki]

Using rEFInd might be better than grub
