Arch Linux Installation Guide 2024: An Easy to Follow Tutorial

Arch Linux is one of the best rolling-release distributions around, but sometimes it can be a challenge to install. In this video, Jay will walk you through not one but TWO methods of installing Arch Linux. The first method will feature arch-install, which is geared more toward beginners. During the second half of the video, Jay will walk you through the manual method - which is perfect for control freaks (you know who you are).

Great timing. I've been planning to install Arch and wanted to go through the full manual process, very grateful for this tutorial.

[Dubiouscyclist]

Used the manual method and it worked like a charm. Excellent, clear and concise instructions, no bs. Thanks Jay!

[eddie_m_m]

By far the clearest and most straightforward manual install of Arch that I've seen. Very high quality content.

[gridleaf]

Thanks for updating the title of the old video. I was just about to refer back to it, and wouldn't have known there's a new version otherwise.

[arkakar]

I'm daily driving arch since 2020 and it hasn't been possible without your old videos about arch installation and setup videos. Learned lots of topics from your videos like syncthing, ssh, proxmox and more... ❤❤❤

[stingfiretube]

A couple points were missed in this video:
1. swap file/ partition was not created (needed to support RAM and hibernation)
2. os-prober was not enabled in grub config for dual-booting PCs.

When I first installed Arch Linux, I installed it thanks to your video. thank you.

[ramonr.]

Jay, excellent job as always, thanks for the update, we just need a post-installation to complete.

[MrXRM]

Been subscribed for a while now, and somehow I missed this one lol
Another great video! Keep it up

Tried the archinstall first and it worked without any issues. Just for fun, I then did the manual install and changed my DE packages.
I have no idea if the system is running better/worse now, but I do know that I feel much more accomplished having customized my system for me

[adamk.]

I've been using mostly Arch for a month now due to this video. Thanks Jay!

Instructions unclear, accidentally installed gentoo

[daroniousmaximus]

Installing it on a laptop. I had used arch many years ago using the old method. Used the simple method this time. Easy peasy!
