Arch Install 2.5.1 - Is this the One?

Just released to the Arch Repositories: ArchInstall 2.5.1, the official super easy Arch Linux install script which will probably be included in the upcoming October 2022 ArchISO image. We take it for a spin with the following:
* systemd-boot (instead of grub) with dual kernel LTS option
* BTRFS with standard subvolumes
* MATE Desktop Environment 1.26 (as a continuation of GNOME 2)

[Sorry about the console font size, archiso resets it to small even if overriding with setfont. Bug?]

Archinstall has made things much faster and reliable for my duties, many thanks for giving it a plug.

i love arch linux for the fact that you have to uninstall the installer and install pip to install a new installer (that hopefully lets me do a partition scheme) make the easy way as hard as possible.

I had so much trouble with the Arch installer before. Never thought to try and install a newer version.

are you god, i'm just about to install arch and was going to use your last video on it as a guideline

Hey Stephen, another great video. I just ran ArchInstall today with the September ISO, and the font size was nice and big in the terminal by default. The installation was perfect, but somewhere I neglected to install kernel support for the NTFS volumes where I have other data and kind of gave up. It used systemd-boot, which looked great, but it did not detect the other OSes on the two other drives (Fedora 36 and Windows 10), so I was kind of stuck there too. It would be great if you could include a walkthrough covering those options.

Thnx Stephen! I recently used archinstall for KDE and it was a. also a very 'light' install (which I prefer) and worked very well indeed. A great project. Second I enjoyed looking at Mate (can you say that? ;-). Reminded me it is one of the very few DE's I haven't used yet. But seeing this I will 😎. Thanks!

Thanks for the video! I understand that archinstall still has problems with existing installations, right? In particular, it insists on having a separate /boot partition (which does not even follow the "standard" /boot/efi path). I also don't understand why having a separate /boot partition in the presence of BTRFS: if you take snapshots, the things in /boot should be part of the snapshot as well, while this is not the case with a separate boot partition...

Can you please make a video installing Arch on the same disk with pre-existing Windows? Thanks

[emptybottle]

sir please can you do a video on setting up btrfs and timeshift after archinstall, thanks.

You should increase the font size on the terminal. Too small for mobile

Keep getting a mounting error regarding my nvme0n1. Any idea how to fix? Been reading and seems to be a common issue with nvme drive for some reason on the new release.
