Arch Linux - Basic Install

In this video, I run through a basic Arch Linux install. For the purpose of this install the "linux-firmware" package will take care of everything I need for the virtual machine to work out of the box. Depending on your hardware, results may vary. As mentioned in the video, I recently installed on a laptop and didn't have to do anything extra and did not have any issues with hardware functionality.

Technically, the following packages will get you up and running with a functional system: base, linux, and linux-firmware. See the wiki for more info/exceptions.

If your run into issues or have general questions, leave a comment and I will try to assist.

Fantastic tutorial. Great for following along with my install.

This is by far the best tutorial I've found.

Subbed because of this video. Please continue this as a series walking though building up a full desktop environment on top of arch (WM, DE, etc) thanks.

Subscribed and liked! I spent all the last night bashing my head on my keyboard trying to install manually arch as a total beginner for the challenge and most guide I was following had some slight difference which was not compatible with me or they just did "archinstall" which is cool for a beginner but not what I was looking for... Even tried to set it up by myself with the help of Gemini (yeah I know lol...) and following the wiki as much as I could but as someone that kinda understand few technical things, was completely dumbfounded when I saw how complicated was the wiki without explaining really in layman terms... Maybe that's just me and I just didn't look too much into it surely due to lack of sleep but that's your guide that finally let me install arch without problem so a big thank you to you and now I guess I just have to look how to set up a desktop env (backing up before because I don't wanna mess up my only working arch 😅)
