• 17 gigs of storage

• Format

fdisk /dev/sda

n + 2 * Enter + 1 + 3 * Enter

w + Enter

• Fileystem

mkfs.xfs /dev/sda2

• Mount

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

• Parallel downloads, faster

vim /etc/pacman.conf

/Par + Enter + 0x + :wq

• Open tmux (you can type/get ready other commands as one command runs)

• ctrl + b + % to split panes

• open THREE PANES

• ctrl + b + o to switch between panes

• Pane 1

pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware grub

• Pane 2

pacstrap /mnt xorg-server sddm plasma-meta sudo konsole firefox vim neofetch

• Pane 3

genfstab -U /mnt > /mnt/etc/fstab; arch-chroot /mnt bash -c 'grub-install /dev/sda; grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg;systemctl enable NetworkManager;EDITOR=vim visudo;systemctl enable sddm; useradd -mG wheel user;passwd user';reboot

genfstab -U /mnt > /mnt/etc/fstab; arch-chroot /mnt bash -c 'grub-install

• in visudo : /wheel + Enter + j0xx + :wq

• passwd: asdf x2

• After rebooting:

• asdf

• firefox + ctrl + l + f

• konsole + neofetch
