Arch Linux Installation Guide

In this video, I go over the installation of Arch Linux from downloading the ISO, all the way to putting the finishing touches on the complete system.
The reason why I called this an "Arch Linux Installation Guide" as opposed to a "How to Install Arch Linux," is because, since Arch Linux is meant to be a do-it-yourself installation, there are many ways to build a complete Arch Linux system, and the method used in this video is just one of them.

Post-installation Commands:
Allow your non-privileged user to use the "sudo" command (NOTE: You will need to log out and log back in for this change to take effect):
su
pacman -S sudo
nano /etc/sudoers
groupadd sudo
usermod -aG sudo drew

Install dependencies for Discover:
sudo pacman -S packagekit-qt5 fwupd
*If you are running this command in su, omit "sudo" at the beginning.

Took a while but I successfully migrated from ubuntu server into arch. Its extremely svelte. I think I prefer it over ubuntu. Your videos are a huge help for a newbie such as myself. Thanks for the amazing content.

Great video, but you forgot to add “mkinitcpio -P” like the guide said, but apart from that, very good installation guide/video, explained everything 10X better than the others!

This was really thorough and informative. Thank you!

Use pacman -Sy and then sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring if u get a package error during *pacstrap installation*

That's awesome. Can you do one with Gentoo? :)

why do you mount the efi partition to /mnt/boot/efi? the guide on the arch wiki uses /mnt/boot ...

when i install kde at 21:21 it gives me an error "error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)"

I am running a virtual machine btw

I noticed that some people do the wheel group in sudoers instead of all. Why do you choose all instead of using the wheel group if you dont mind me asking?

Every time I get to the point of installing base packages it throws the error about the PGP key "is of marginal trust" and file "is corrupted (invalid or corrupted package (PGP Signature))." and "error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)"
Searching for discussions about "PGP Signature" people recommend something along the lines of "Refreshing" or "Synchronizing" keys, but thus far none of the given commands have accomplished anything.

It seems secure boot needs to be disabled before installing...?

Whenever I run grub-install it says cannot find EFI directory

3:41 wouldn't it be easier to just pipe the output to the less command instead creating a file and open it with nano? 😉
