Arch

To install Arch Linux, I run a custom script.

How to install manually ?

How to install ?

Keymap

loadkeys fr-latin1

Connect to your Wi-Fi

rfkill unblock wifi
ip link set wlan0 up

connmanctl

scan wifi
services
agent on
connect id

EFI and ROOT partitions

I make a 1G partition for the EFI system and give the rest to the Linux Filesystem. You can use cfdisk instead of fdisk

(
echo g
echo n 
echo 1
echo
echo +1G
echo t
echo 1
echo 1
echo n
echo 2
echo
echo
echo w
) | fdisk "/dev/nvme0n1" &> /dev/null

mkfs.fat -F 32 -n ESP /dev/nvme0n1p1

mkfs.ext4 -L ROOT /dev/nvme0n1p2

Mounting the partitions

mount /dev/disk/by-label/ROOT /mnt

mount --mkdir /dev/disk/by-label/ESP /mnt/boot

Basestrap

basestrap /mnt linux linux-firmware sof-firmware base base-devel grub efibootmgr runit elogind-runit networkmanager-runit terminus-font helix git

Fstab

fstabgen -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

Artix Chrooting

artix-chroot /mnt

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris /etc/localtime
hwclock --systohc
echo 'fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8' >> /etc/locale.gen
locale-gen
echo 'LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8' > /etc/locale.conf
echo -e 'KEYMAP=fr-latin1\nXKBLAYOUT=fr\nXKBMODEL=pc105\nXKBOPTIONS=terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp\nFONT=ter-132b' > /etc/vconsole.conf

echo hostname > /etc/hostname

passwd
useradd -m -G wheel user
passwd user

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

exit
reboot

Post reboot

First of all, uncomment the correct line starting with %wheel :

# as root
EDITOR=helix visudo

NetworkManager

sudo ln -s /etc/runit/sv/NetworkManager /run/runit/service/
sudo sv start NetworkManager
nmcli device wifi connect SSID --ask

Brightnessctl

On a laptop you might need to adjust the screen's brightness :

sudo usermod -aG video $(whoami)

Extra repo

I like to use ungoogled chromium so I add the omniverse repo to /etc/pacman.conf :

[omniverse]
Server = https://omniverse.artixlinux.org/$arch

Some packages like hyprpicker and others are in Arch's extra repo. Let's add it to our database:

sudo pacman -S artix-archlinux-support

Then add these lines to the /etc/pacman.conf file :

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

#[multilib]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch

And run

sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
sudo pacman -Syu

You might want to uncomment the Color and ParallelDownloads lines in /etc/pacman.conf

Pipewire

Install the packages :

sudo pacman -S pipewire pipewire-pulse pipewire-alsa pipewire-jack sof-firmware wireplumber

Copy the config files :

sudo cp /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire* /etc/pipewire/

Then you must find a way to start pipewire, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber, I do it in my hyprland.conf with the exec-once statement

Dox

Dot files installation

git clone https://codeberg.org/mielota/dox.git
cd dox
make stow

To delete all the symlinks created by stow

make unstow

Install paru

make paru

There is other rules in the Makefile you can check them
