install_basic.sh should setup everything for a very basic Arch + KDE installation. Enough to login to a desktop at least. It will ask for a hostname, username, and password then everything after that should be --noconfirm and eventually reboot into KDE. It may also ask if it's OK to wipe the disk depending on whats on it. Double check the right device is used (hardcoded to /dev/nvme0n1)

You will need an internet connection to perform the installation. If you have ethernet then it should already work. If you want to use WiFi then follow the iwctl instructions below.

$ iwctl
# list the network interfaces. For me it was wlan0
$ station device list
# Connect to a WiFI network
$ station wlan0 connect "SSID NAME"
# ctrl+D to exit

tested on a 2018 Macbook Pro 14-inch

encrypted_partition.sh and arch-chroot-bootstrap.sh are unused and incomplete. The next iteration of these was to add 2 luks keys to the crypt partition.

1. the one you type in
2. on that is stored in /root and copied into the initramfs img

The problem with this is that the img is stored on the unencrypted partition. The laptop I was testing on does not have a TPM module so I skipped the encryption for it.
