00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,839
hello everyone i'm jacob kaufman i'm the

2
00:00:01,839 --> 00:00:03,040
nerd in the street and today we're

3
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,500
installing arch linux

4
00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:12,719
[Music]

5
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:14,719
okay everybody we've got a simpler video

6
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:17,199
today i work with a variety of different

7
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:18,560
linux distributions

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,720
throughout everything that i do i use

9
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,359
debian i use ubuntu i use ubuntu based

10
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:26,160
distributions i use fedora and centos on

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,199
some machines

12
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:29,119
it really depends on exactly what a

13
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:31,279
machine is for which distribution i end

14
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:33,120
up using on it but for all of my

15
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,280
personal computers my desktops and

16
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,200
laptops that i'm actually sitting down

17
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,360
at and using on a day-to-day basis

18
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,680
i pretty much always go with arch linux

19
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,000
now arch linux is kind of a meme in some

20
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,600
parts of the linux community

21
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,200
people make jokes about how the people

22
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,200
who use arch linux think that they're

23
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,199
these elite linux users that they're not

24
00:00:51,199 --> 00:00:51,920
always

25
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,920
but behind all of the jokes arch linux

26
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,160
really is a solid distribution

27
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,160
it's got a package manager that i find

28
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,320
very robust and easy to use

29
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,120
it's got repositories with a very dense

30
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,720
collection of software

31
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,720
and then it's got the aur which lets you

32
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,400
build software that's not in the main

33
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,439
repositories

34
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:11,040
it's pretty much got everything that i

35
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,119
look for in a distribution now arch

36
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:15,360
linux is a rolling release distro

37
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,200
which means that it gets updates over

38
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,920
time unlike a fixed release distribution

39
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,400
such as ubuntu which makes a major

40
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:22,960
release

41
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:24,799
every six months and every single

42
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:26,960
package on your system gets upgraded

43
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:28,880
at that six month point when you upgrade

44
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,079
your ubuntu version

45
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:32,720
arch linux doesn't have releases it's

46
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,320
just a continual

47
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:36,720
system where you install updates when

48
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,320
it's convenient for you to do that if

49
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:40,240
that's every week or if that's every

50
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,520
month or if that's

51
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,680
more often or less often whenever you

52
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,000
want to install updates you install them

53
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,840
and when you install updates all the

54
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,840
software on your system gets updated

55
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,360
to basically the latest version

56
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,360
available arch linux does do

57
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,439
some testing before certain packages

58
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:57,680
move from their testing repo to the main

59
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,560
repo but for the most part if a project

60
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,200
a program out there publishes a new

61
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:03,920
version

62
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,320
if that's a feature release then ubuntu

63
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,000
is not going to include that new version

64
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,160
until their next major six month release

65
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,920
whereas arch linux is going to include

66
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:12,160
it

67
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,160
probably within a matter of days now if

68
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,760
you talk to linux users about rolling

69
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,599
release distributions and how

70
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:19,360
stable they are you'll probably hear

71
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,720
differing opinions

72
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,400
personally i find rolling release

73
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,319
distributions to be more suitable for

74
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:25,680
personal machines

75
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,080
i find them to be more stable on

76
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,280
personal machines

77
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,280
with a fixed release distribution you're

78
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,680
upgrading thousands of packages

79
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,920
every six months so when you make that

80
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,160
upgrade there's a pretty high chance

81
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,319
that something is going to break or need

82
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:41,200
your attention

83
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,200
after all of those packages are all

84
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,879
upgraded at the same time

85
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:46,560
with a rolling release distribution

86
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,480
since things are upgraded just here and

87
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,000
there as the updates actually

88
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,080
come out you don't have that damn

89
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,040
breaking open

90
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,040
of just all these updates coming in at

91
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,879
the same time as long as you keep your

92
00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:58,640
rolling release distribution relatively

93
00:02:58,640 --> 00:02:59,280
up to date

94
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,120
you might spring a leak here or there

95
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,120
something might require your attention

96
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,040
at any moment basically which is why

97
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,560
some people don't like rolling release

98
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,280
distros

99
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,200
but chances are it's only going to be

100
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,640
one or two packages

101
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:13,280
that have changed and one or two things

102
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,959
that you need to actually look at

103
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:17,680
as opposed to the entire system changing

104
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,440
drastically like you get with a fixed

105
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,400
release distro

106
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,159
and even on top of that i personally

107
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:24,000
don't find that rolling release distros

108
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,400
have all that many small breaks either

109
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,920
but that's just addressing a common

110
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:29,040
concern with rolling release

111
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:29,920
distributions

112
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:31,680
well you know jacob when i come home

113
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,200
after a long day and i just want to use

114
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,200
my pc for gaming or watching youtube

115
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,400
videos or whatever

116
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,680
i don't want to have to worry about

117
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,519
things breaking and that's a valid

118
00:03:39,519 --> 00:03:41,440
concern and it's a concern of mine

119
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,680
and that's why number one i generally

120
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,080
don't update my system when i'm about to

121
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,280
use it for something

122
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,959
if the system is working and i'm about

123
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:50,319
to do a live stream or

124
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:52,640
you know if i come home after work i

125
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,080
only have a couple hours to work on a

126
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,120
video or something

127
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,200
that's not the time to install updates

128
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,799
you know i install updates usually on

129
00:03:58,799 --> 00:04:00,080
the weekends when i have more

130
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,239
time to fix things if they break and

131
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:03,760
then the other aspect of it

132
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,799
is if you're a little bit more

133
00:04:04,799 --> 00:04:06,640
comfortable with linux then you might be

134
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,080
more comfortable with a rolling release

135
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,680
distribution because honestly if

136
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,599
something breaks on my system i'm fairly

137
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:12,959
confident in my ability

138
00:04:12,959 --> 00:04:14,400
to get it back up and running pretty

139
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,920
quickly so that's just a little bit of

140
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,560
background about why i like arch linux

141
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,759
it is straightforward for me personally

142
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:23,919
it gets updates to my programs very

143
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:26,240
quickly i don't like waiting for a big

144
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,280
feature release

145
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:28,639
you know if it's been released by the

146
00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:30,160
application developers if there's a new

147
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,600
caden live version out

148
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,840
i want those improvements now you know i

149
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,280
don't want to wait until the next six

150
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:36,720
month cycle ticks over

151
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,479
and one last thing that i really like

152
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:40,479
about arch linux is that it's pretty

153
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:43,120
desktop environment agnostic you can

154
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,479
install a number of different desktop

155
00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:47,040
environments on it gnome kde plasma

156
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,720
xfce lxqt you know basically any desktop

157
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,400
environment i just named some larger

158
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,240
ones but any desktop environment that

159
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,840
exists for linux somebody's probably

160
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:57,120
packaging it for arch

161
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,360
and unlike something like ubuntu where

162
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,000
ubuntu is a gnome distribution they ship

163
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,639
gnome so they're checking for gnome bugs

164
00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:06,639
if you've got a bug in kde the ubuntu

165
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:07,759
folks won't help you

166
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:09,680
the kubon 2 folks might but they're kind

167
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,080
of dependent on ubuntu as an underlying

168
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:12,800
system

169
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,800
and it creates more layers between you

170
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,000
and the software that you're using

171
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,680
whereas arch the people making the

172
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:18,560
distribution

173
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,240
they don't care what desktop environment

174
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,000
you're using and honestly they don't

175
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:22,479
even

176
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:25,120
mind not having as many users as some of

177
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,320
the larger distros

178
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,080
they're just making a really robust

179
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,840
bedrock for you to construct and

180
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:32,720
maintain your own ideal system on top of

181
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,400
so with all of those really nice things

182
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,080
about arch linux said

183
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,479
i've tried showing how to install arch

184
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:40,320
linux a couple of times in the past

185
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,960
i've done videos on it before but it was

186
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,360
pretty long ago it was a few years ago

187
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,360
the last time i attempted it the last

188
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,360
time i had a successful arch linux

189
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,440
installation on video was probably

190
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,039
around five years ago

191
00:05:53,039 --> 00:05:55,280
and obviously the quality of my content

192
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:56,800
was a lot lower back then

193
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,039
i was pointing a camera at a laptop

194
00:05:59,039 --> 00:06:00,240
screen back then

195
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,080
i didn't have a capture card or you know

196
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,600
a nice microphone or any of the things i

197
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,759
have today so i wanted to do arch linux

198
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:06,639
justice

199
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:09,280
and that way when somebody asks me in a

200
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:10,639
comment of a video one of the most

201
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:12,479
common comments that i get is oh

202
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:14,080
what distribution are you using what

203
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,840
version of linux is that and i always

204
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:17,440
tell people i'm using arch linux with

205
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,360
kde plasma because that's what is on my

206
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,319
daily driver

207
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:22,720
this way if somebody wants to try out

208
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,400
arch if you've heard good things about

209
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,919
it from people like me but you've never

210
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:27,120
installed it before

211
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,880
everything that i'm about to show you is

212
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,039
detailed in the installation guide on

213
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:32,000
the archwiki

214
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,280
everything i'm about to show you every

215
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:35,360
single command is in the archwiki

216
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,280
somewhere and it's fairly easy for me to

217
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:38,960
skim through that installation guide and

218
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,960
pick out exactly what i need to do

219
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,560
but there's an interesting phenomenon

220
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,479
i've witnessed helping other people

221
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:46,080
install arch linux over the phone and

222
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,199
things like that

223
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:48,960
where people actually they get

224
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,800
overwhelmed by all the information they

225
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,160
think that every single command is

226
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,280
something they need to run

227
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,960
they don't actually read the english

228
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,199
text that's explaining what's going on

229
00:06:57,199 --> 00:06:59,120
and then they get confused and they mess

230
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,120
things up which is kind of their fault

231
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,000
for not reading

232
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,080
but if you're somebody who finds it

233
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,759
easier to listen to somebody talk then

234
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:06,560
to read

235
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,319
maybe this video will be helpful for you

236
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:09,680
so that's what we're doing today we're

237
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:10,400
going to install

238
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,240
arch linux i'm going to show you how to

239
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,160
install it with kde plasma

240
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,319
it's extremely easy to install gnome or

241
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:17,680
anything else once again if you want a

242
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,720
different system

243
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,560
you can check the archwiki out for

244
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,479
whatever particulars you want but

245
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:24,000
i'm showing you the basic setup with

246
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,680
plasma since once again that's what i

247
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,120
use and that's what people tend to ask

248
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:27,840
me about

249
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,440
the one step i'm not going to show you

250
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,680
today is how to make the live disk

251
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,680
for installing arch linux you are going

252
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,319
to need a flash drive with arch linux on

253
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:37,919
it you're going to need to download the

254
00:07:37,919 --> 00:07:40,400
iso file from arch linux's website and

255
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,160
flash it onto the flash drive using a

256
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,440
program like etcher

257
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,199
if you've never done that before check

258
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:47,280
out my video on how to install ubuntu

259
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,840
20.04 because i showed that process

260
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,680
at the beginning of that video it's the

261
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,520
exact same process for the arch iso

262
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,199
you're just using the arch iso instead

263
00:07:55,199 --> 00:07:56,560
of the ubuntu iso

264
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,800
so download the arch iso it's very small

265
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,720
since it only contains a minimal set of

266
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:01,520
packages

267
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,919
flash it onto a flash drive plug it in

268
00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:04,560
and

269
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,000
then we're going to cut to the desktop

270
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,199
and i'll show you how to do the rest of

271
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:07,840
this now

272
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,000
all right guys so here we are like i

273
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,680
said i'm using a capture card

274
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,919
so you're actually going to see the boot

275
00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:15,680
menu of the computer that i'm using

276
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,599
right now i'm using a felio system so

277
00:08:17,599 --> 00:08:19,759
we've got a system 76 splash screen

278
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:21,520
i'm hitting f12 right now for the boot

279
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,599
menu your system might have you hit a

280
00:08:23,599 --> 00:08:24,720
different function key

281
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,479
take a look at the text at the bottom of

282
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:28,560
your bio splash screen or uefi splash

283
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:29,039
screen

284
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:30,479
to see which key you actually need to

285
00:08:30,479 --> 00:08:32,800
hit as you can see i've got an option

286
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,959
right here for my flash drive so i'm

287
00:08:34,959 --> 00:08:36,000
going to select that

288
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,560
and here we have our grub menu for arch

289
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:39,279
linux

290
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:41,200
now at this point i'm going to perform a

291
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,959
step that's only necessary on

292
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:45,360
nvidia graphics systems so if you've got

293
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,040
a system with intel graphics

294
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,040
or with amd graphics you can just hit

295
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,080
enter to boot

296
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,000
since i have an nvidia graphics card in

297
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,680
the system right now i'm going to hit e

298
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:54,480
for edit

299
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,080
that's going to bring up the command

300
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,680
line options at the bottom of the screen

301
00:08:57,680 --> 00:08:59,360
here that we're actually using to boot

302
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,920
the system i'm going to hit end to move

303
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,440
to the end of that line and i'm going to

304
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,160
type in

305
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,279
nouveau n o u v e a u dot

306
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:10,320
mode set equals zero

307
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,680
this is going to turn off the mode

308
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:13,680
setting features of the nuvo driver

309
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:14,640
because nouveau

310
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,880
or as i like to call it novu the reverse

311
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,560
engineered open source driver

312
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:20,720
for nvidia cards it is a marvel of

313
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,399
engineering but it does not always work

314
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:24,240
the best so to ensure that we don't have

315
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,920
any freezing or anything like that

316
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,920
we're going to make sure to enter that

317
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,920
in i'll hit enter and we will go ahead

318
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,360
and boot our live system

319
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,560
and it's just going to take a few

320
00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:34,959
seconds to boot here we saw welcome to

321
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:36,720
arch linux a little bit higher up as you

322
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,399
can see we do have systemd

323
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:40,480
one of the main criticisms of arch linux

324
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,480
is how much it depends on systemd it's

325
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,440
not really made to have an

326
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,959
interchangeable in it system

327
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:47,279
personally i'm okay with systemd i'm not

328
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:48,000
a fan of

329
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,839
everything about it but i know how to

330
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:51,279
use it so here we are

331
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:52,720
we're finished booting and you can see

332
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,480
we just have a command line there is no

333
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,399
graphical installer for arch linux

334
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:57,760
personally i don't have a problem with

335
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,360
that because i'm able to go through this

336
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,200
manually and you'll be able to do it too

337
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,160
after this video

338
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,920
now the first thing you want to do is

339
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,360
connect to the internet

340
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,760
if you have ethernet plugged in dhcp

341
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,519
will work so this will probably happen

342
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:10,480
automatically

343
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,760
and i can ping archlinux.org just to

344
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,519
check that i am connected and yes i'm

345
00:10:15,519 --> 00:10:16,720
connected to the internet

346
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,320
that's important because we're going to

347
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,839
be downloading all the packages we're

348
00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:20,880
about to install

349
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,360
unlike other distros like ubuntu that

350
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,120
actually include the full

351
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,040
operating system image on your flash

352
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,480
drive on your iso file

353
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,399
the arch linux iso is meant to be used

354
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:31,760
with an internet connection

355
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,200
and you're going to download the latest

356
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,720
versions of all the packages as you're

357
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:35,519
installing them

358
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:37,200
now i have ethernet so that's pretty

359
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,720
easy but what if you don't what if you

360
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,240
have wi-fi well here's how we can

361
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,279
connect to wi-fi

362
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:44,079
we're going to use iwctl that's the

363
00:10:44,079 --> 00:10:45,760
current tool that is included on the

364
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,440
arts linux iso that's going to bring us

365
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,760
into a different prompt this is iwd

366
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,680
so in here we're going to type in device

367
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:53,200
list and that's going to list

368
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,680
out our wireless cards in the system you

369
00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:57,680
can see i've got one it's called wlan

370
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:00,160
one so we're going to type in station

371
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,519
wlan 1

372
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:03,920
scan and that's going to tell the system

373
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,200
to have wlan 1

374
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,440
start scanning for available networks

375
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,480
that it can connect to

376
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,959
we're going to type in station wlan 1

377
00:11:10,959 --> 00:11:12,320
git networks

378
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,399
and that's going to list the networks

379
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:15,839
that it's seeing in its scan

380
00:11:15,839 --> 00:11:18,399
you can see not wireless in there and

381
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:20,079
also not stash aux

382
00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:22,079
those are my two networks that i'm

383
00:11:22,079 --> 00:11:23,760
running here so i'm going to connect to

384
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,839
nas wireless to do that i'm going to

385
00:11:25,839 --> 00:11:29,519
run station wlan one connect

386
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:33,120
not wireless if your wireless network is

387
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,560
protected with a

388
00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:36,320
pass phrase which it should be you will

389
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,680
be prompted for that

390
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:39,519
and i'll go ahead and type in my

391
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,120
passphrase

392
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,560
and that's all that you need to do we

393
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:45,200
can type exit to get out of iwd

394
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,880
and at this point once again you can

395
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,800
ping archlinux.org or you can run

396
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,079
something like ip

397
00:11:50,079 --> 00:11:52,160
address to check that you have an ip

398
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,680
address on your wireless link

399
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:55,040
once you're connected to the internet we

400
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,200
want to synchronize our system clock

401
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,480
that's going to make it easier to

402
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,079
download things and avoid potential

403
00:12:00,079 --> 00:12:00,880
problems

404
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,120
in a few minutes so we'll run time date

405
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:03,920
ctl

406
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,920
set ntp true ntp is the network time

407
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,760
protocol so we're just turning it on

408
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,839
at this point we also want to verify if

409
00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:15,200
we're booted in uefi or legacy bios mode

410
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,920
now if your system supports uefi mode i

411
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,920
would highly recommend that you install

412
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,600
in uefi mode i'm going to show you how

413
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,079
to do it right now i avoided uefi

414
00:12:24,079 --> 00:12:25,519
for years because i didn't really

415
00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:27,200
understand it as well as i understood a

416
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,639
legacy bio system

417
00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:30,880
now that i do understand it i prefer it

418
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,639
it makes things easier with regards to

419
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:33,839
firmware updates

420
00:12:33,839 --> 00:12:36,000
and even just managing your bootloader

421
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,320
so to check if you're booted into uefi

422
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,440
or legacy bios mode we're going to run

423
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:41,839
ls-l

424
00:12:41,839 --> 00:12:45,279
on sys firmware efi

425
00:12:45,279 --> 00:12:48,000
efi vars now what this is going to do is

426
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:48,399
list

427
00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:50,480
out the contents of this directory if

428
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,240
you're booted in bios mode

429
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,959
cis firmware efi actually won't exist so

430
00:12:54,959 --> 00:12:57,279
if you see a no such file or directory

431
00:12:57,279 --> 00:12:57,920
error

432
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,200
that just means that you're booted in

433
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,440
legacy bios mode if you see

434
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,519
a listing of files like i see right here

435
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:05,440
you're booted in uefi mode

436
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,360
so we know that we're in uefi mode next

437
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,959
we need to partition our operating

438
00:13:08,959 --> 00:13:09,839
system drive

439
00:13:09,839 --> 00:13:12,480
i'm going to run fdisk dash l to list

440
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,240
out the drives in this system

441
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,880
you can see i've got dev nvme zero in

442
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,279
one at the top there it's a 230 gigabyte

443
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:20,320
samsung drive

444
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,800
or 250 gigabyte on the label it

445
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,880
currently has two partitions on it from

446
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,480
when i was practicing this before i

447
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,360
started recording

448
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,040
but that's the drive we want to use so

449
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,040
we are going to wipe it re-partition it

450
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,560
and then we'll install onto it

451
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:34,160
so to begin working with that disc we're

452
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,160
going to run g disk

453
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,680
dev nvme 0 in one i have made a video

454
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:41,839
about working with fdisk and g disk for

455
00:13:41,839 --> 00:13:43,279
partitioning on the command line so if

456
00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:44,480
you want a little bit more information

457
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,120
about that

458
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,199
go check that video out once we're in

459
00:13:47,199 --> 00:13:48,959
gdisk the first thing we're going to run

460
00:13:48,959 --> 00:13:52,160
is o that is going to create a new guid

461
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:52,800
partition

462
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,120
table as you can see doing that is going

463
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,519
to delete all partitions so we will

464
00:13:57,519 --> 00:14:00,240
confirm and enter next we are going to

465
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:00,800
type in

466
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,720
in to make a new partition we use the

467
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,480
default partition number and the default

468
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,880
first sector now the last sector

469
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,360
we're actually going to make our efi

470
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:10,560
system partition

471
00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:13,920
or our esp at the beginning of the drive

472
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,399
with a legacy bios system you have a

473
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:17,680
master boot record

474
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:19,040
and that is where your bootloader is

475
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,720
going to install some of its files

476
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,120
so that your system's bios knows where

477
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:23,920
to boot to

478
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,160
with a uefi system we actually need a

479
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:26,959
partition

480
00:14:26,959 --> 00:14:28,800
and that's why i consider uefi to be

481
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,000
better because it's a partition

482
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,480
that's actually exposed unlike the mbr

483
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:33,360
that's a lot more

484
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,920
behind closed doors so the efi system

485
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,079
partition we're going to make it a 512

486
00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:40,320
megabyte partition so type in a plus

487
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,360
512 capital m and we'll press enter and

488
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,040
for the hex code for an efi system

489
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:45,920
partition in g

490
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,360
disk that is ef00 if you're ever unsure

491
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,040
of what the hex code that you need is

492
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,639
you can always type l to list all of

493
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:53,040
them

494
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,639
and it'll also let you search if you do

495
00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:57,440
that but efi system partition is ef00 so

496
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,639
i'll type that in

497
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:00,240
next i'm going to make the root

498
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,680
partition that we'll use for everything

499
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:02,560
else i'll type in

500
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,279
in enter for sector last sector so

501
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:06,800
that's going to use the rest of the disk

502
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,320
and i'll use the default hex code

503
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,000
because we want to use a linux file

504
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,560
system we're going to use ext4 for this

505
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,000
personally i would not recommend

506
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,839
separating your home directory out from

507
00:15:15,839 --> 00:15:17,120
your root partition

508
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,120
unless you've got a separate physical

509
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,560
drive that you want your home

510
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,399
directory stored on on a separate

511
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:24,480
partition so in this example we're going

512
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,079
to have one root partition

513
00:15:26,079 --> 00:15:28,320
that contains everything except for our

514
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,079
efi files and those are going to be in

515
00:15:30,079 --> 00:15:31,519
the efi system partition

516
00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:33,040
we're going to write those changes that

517
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,800
we just made to disk

518
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,199
yes and as you can see we made our new

519
00:15:37,199 --> 00:15:39,199
guide partition table and we

520
00:15:39,199 --> 00:15:41,440
wrote our partitions that we specified

521
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,120
next we need to actually format those

522
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:43,839
partitions

523
00:15:43,839 --> 00:15:46,000
so for the esp we're going to run make

524
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,519
fs dot fat

525
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:51,279
dev nvme 0 and 1 p1 and then for our

526
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:54,000
root partition we'll run makefest.ext4

527
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,120
dev nvme zero in one p two as you can

528
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,560
see i'm getting a warning since i

529
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,959
already had a file system on that

530
00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:03,120
physical area of the disk before your

531
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,560
warning might look different than this

532
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,839
if you had a different type of file

533
00:16:05,839 --> 00:16:06,880
system there before

534
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,639
you can just hit y and press enter to

535
00:16:08,639 --> 00:16:10,639
proceed anyway and at this point we can

536
00:16:10,639 --> 00:16:12,160
actually mount those partitions

537
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,199
so we're going to mount dev nvme zero

538
00:16:15,199 --> 00:16:17,360
in one p two first we need to mount the

539
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,120
root partition before we mount anything

540
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:19,680
else

541
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:20,639
so we're going to mount the root

542
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:23,519
partition of our new system to slash mnt

543
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:25,279
that is a default directory that's

544
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:27,839
created in this live environment for us

545
00:16:27,839 --> 00:16:30,399
now we also need to mount our esp so

546
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:32,240
that our bootloader can actually install

547
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,560
its efi files into there you can pretty

548
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,000
much mount the esp wherever

549
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,320
you want to the arch linux wiki uses

550
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,440
slash esp

551
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,759
i believe as an example ubuntu-based

552
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:43,519
distributions typically use

553
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:46,720
slash boot efi for their esp

554
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,639
so that's what i'm going to use since i

555
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:51,120
learned uefi on ubuntu based systems

556
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,720
that's just what i'm used to

557
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,680
now boot efi does not exist yet so we

558
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,199
need to make the directory before we can

559
00:16:57,199 --> 00:16:58,480
mount a partition there

560
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,560
so i'm going to run makeder dash p to

561
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,720
also create any parents that don't exist

562
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,319
and then we'll put mnt boot efi

563
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:09,199
and then we're going to mount dev nvme 0

564
00:17:09,199 --> 00:17:10,240
and 1p1

565
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,959
to mount boot efi so both those

566
00:17:12,959 --> 00:17:14,400
partitions are mounted now

567
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,720
and we can interact with them now at

568
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,000
this point i want to take a look

569
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,160
at our mirror list like i said when we

570
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,839
install the system in a moment

571
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,760
we're not copying files from the flash

572
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:24,640
drive we're actually going to be

573
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,079
downloading every single package that

574
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,039
we're installing

575
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:29,039
from the arch linux repositories as

576
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:30,080
we're installing

577
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,360
and when i say we're downloading from

578
00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:32,880
the repositories we're actually going to

579
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:33,919
be downloading from

580
00:17:33,919 --> 00:17:36,320
mirrors of the repositories so if we

581
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,799
take a look in etc

582
00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:41,520
pacman.d mirror list this is a file that

583
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,559
is going to list

584
00:17:42,559 --> 00:17:44,480
out our different mirrors that we can

585
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,160
download packages from

586
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,039
now recent versions of the arts linux

587
00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:49,840
installer

588
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,000
include a tool called reflector on the

589
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,240
iso file and it's pretty cool because as

590
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,919
soon as you connect to the internet

591
00:17:55,919 --> 00:17:57,919
reflector is automatically going to run

592
00:17:57,919 --> 00:17:59,520
and it's going to sort this mirror list

593
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,320
for you

594
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,799
in order of download speed so wherever

595
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:04,080
you are in the world

596
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,160
it's going to find out which servers

597
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,600
you're getting the best response time

598
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,039
from and it's going to put those at the

599
00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:09,600
top

600
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,200
and then the slower mirrors will go down

601
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,600
toward the bottom now if for some reason

602
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:14,080
you find

603
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,840
one of these mirrors isn't working very

604
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,360
well you can always come in here and

605
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:18,320
comment it out

606
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,160
older versions of the arch iso didn't

607
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,679
include reflectors so you had to

608
00:18:21,679 --> 00:18:22,799
actually come in here and

609
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:24,720
usually comment out at least a few

610
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,240
mirrors to make sure that you're using

611
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,400
one that's geographically close to you

612
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,520
we don't actually need to change

613
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,799
anything in here since we've got

614
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:32,320
reflector but i just wanted to show you

615
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,039
that file

616
00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:34,320
and at this point we can actually

617
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,640
install the system this is the biggest

618
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,480
step and it's pretty easy to do

619
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,000
a lot of people say that installing arch

620
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,600
linux is difficult

621
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,440
but here's how easy it is so we're going

622
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,880
to type in pack strap

623
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,360
and pack strap is a command that is

624
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:48,480
going to install

625
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,520
into a directory so pacman is the normal

626
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,120
pack manager we would use

627
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:55,360
we're using pack strap for the initial

628
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:56,799
installation process

629
00:18:56,799 --> 00:18:58,160
since we're currently running in a live

630
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,640
environment but we want to install into

631
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,240
mnt so pacstrap mnt and then we can

632
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,799
specify a list of groups and packages

633
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:08,240
that we want to install

634
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,320
so that's going to include base i'm

635
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,160
going to include the base

636
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,120
devel group now base devel is optional

637
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:16,799
you don't need to install this

638
00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:18,880
i installed it on all my systems for two

639
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:19,919
primary reasons

640
00:19:19,919 --> 00:19:21,760
the first one is that base devel

641
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,120
includes everything you need

642
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,960
to build packages from the arch user

643
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,039
repository so the aur

644
00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:29,600
includes a lot of software if you use a

645
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:30,880
lot of different programs

646
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,559
chances are at least one of them is

647
00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:34,559
going to be in the aur rather than the

648
00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:36,720
main arch linux repositories so if

649
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,240
you're planning on using the aur

650
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,679
at all you're going to want to install

651
00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:41,679
bass devel the second thing that it

652
00:19:41,679 --> 00:19:43,120
includes that i normally end up

653
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:44,960
installing anyway even if i'm not using

654
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:45,840
the aur

655
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,320
is sudo sudo is required for building

656
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,600
aur packages

657
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,840
because the make package script uses it

658
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,679
but if you're planning on using sudo at

659
00:19:53,679 --> 00:19:54,640
all in order to

660
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,480
execute commands while logged in as your

661
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,799
normal user using root privileges

662
00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:01,120
so doing things like installing updates

663
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:02,799
you're going to want to install sudo so

664
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:04,799
base devel will pull that in for you

665
00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:06,880
we're going to install linux and linux

666
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,480
firmware

667
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,919
if you're wondering why linux is not

668
00:20:09,919 --> 00:20:11,440
part of the base group it's because you

669
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,960
can actually install different types of

670
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,960
linux if you want the lts release of

671
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,960
linux you can use linux lts

672
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,120
which is something i do sometimes on my

673
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:20,320
personal desktop

674
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,520
because i have found that with

675
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,600
third-party kernel modules such as zfs

676
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:24,400
for linux

677
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,240
they break a lot less often if you're

678
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,679
using linux lts

679
00:20:27,679 --> 00:20:29,600
because it updates the kernel less often

680
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,280
but for this example system we'll say we

681
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,320
just want the latest

682
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,320
kernel which is perfectly fine for most

683
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,400
users and then linux firmware is going

684
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,679
to include things like

685
00:20:37,679 --> 00:20:39,520
wireless card firmware that you might

686
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,720
need for your hardware

687
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,240
now for the gui like i said i'm going to

688
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,880
use kde plasma so we're going to install

689
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,520
plasma that's a group if you want gnome

690
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,440
instead the gnome group is just called

691
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,919
gnome but we're going to use plasma and

692
00:20:51,919 --> 00:20:53,919
then we've got sddm

693
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:55,919
is the display manager that we're going

694
00:20:55,919 --> 00:20:58,240
to use so without a display manager we

695
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,760
would boot into a terminal and we'd have

696
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,679
to run a command to actually get into

697
00:21:01,679 --> 00:21:03,600
our desktop environment plasma

698
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,520
now in this case there's actually a

699
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,120
little bit of a disclaimer because

700
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:09,840
sddm is actually included within plasma

701
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,919
we don't technically need to write sddm

702
00:21:11,919 --> 00:21:12,400
here

703
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,679
because plasma depends on the sddm kcm

704
00:21:15,679 --> 00:21:18,720
kde control module and sddm kcm depends

705
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,200
on sddm so if we just installed plasma

706
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,200
it would pull an sddm as a dependency

707
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,000
for us

708
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,799
personally i like to also specify sddm

709
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:28,880
so that it gets installed explicitly

710
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,640
because if in the future some weird

711
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,080
dependency thing happens an

712
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,919
sddm was no longer a dependency of

713
00:21:33,919 --> 00:21:35,840
plasma even if i switch to a different

714
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,360
desktop environment you know

715
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,200
i'm still going to want my display

716
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,200
manager to remain the same unless i go

717
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,640
and manually change it

718
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,200
so i like to install sddm explicitly

719
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,480
we're also going to install

720
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,400
a few more packages now these are

721
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,559
packages that you could just wait and

722
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:52,960
install later and the archwiki shows you

723
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,400
installing these later

724
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,320
but personally i always forget to

725
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,840
install them and then i reboot

726
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,760
to my new system and i run into problems

727
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,120
because they're missing so

728
00:22:01,120 --> 00:22:02,880
i just make it a habit to install them

729
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,039
right up front the first one is nano

730
00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:06,799
you've noticed i've been using nano to

731
00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:09,039
get into the configuration files so far

732
00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:11,120
nano is my command line text editor of

733
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:13,120
choice if something goes wrong in the

734
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:15,120
installation and i boot into a terminal

735
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:16,559
i don't want to be stuck with v

736
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:18,320
trying to figure out what's going on i'd

737
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,080
rather have nano so i'm going to install

738
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:20,640
that

739
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,840
right off the bat to make sure it's

740
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,000
there we're going to install iwd

741
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,080
this is what gives you wireless support

742
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,520
reason why i like to make sure we

743
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,200
install our networking stack

744
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,880
iwd is included on the live disk as we

745
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,360
saw

746
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:36,640
this is what provides that iwctl command

747
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,320
now network manager is going to get

748
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,559
installed as the dependency of plasma so

749
00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:42,960
theoretically we shouldn't need iwd

750
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,640
but let's say something goes wrong with

751
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,400
the network manager installs so we

752
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,520
reboot later

753
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,200
after we're done with the installation

754
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,039
we boot up and then

755
00:22:51,039 --> 00:22:52,480
network manager is not working we need

756
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,240
to look up how to fix it but we don't

757
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:54,960
have internet

758
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,880
if you're on a laptop and you can't plug

759
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,320
into ethernet you're not going to be

760
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,520
able to connect to the internet if you

761
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,720
don't install iwd

762
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,360
or something like it before you reboot

763
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:04,960
you would have to reboot into the

764
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,640
install media in that case i've had to

765
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,000
do that a number of times in the past

766
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,400
so i always make sure whatever we have

767
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,000
that we're depending on

768
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,320
to install packages you know connecting

769
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,280
to wireless

770
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,120
we want to make sure that it's there

771
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:18,880
before we boot into our new system

772
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,880
just to make our own lives easier next

773
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,159
up i'm also going to install

774
00:23:22,159 --> 00:23:24,559
man another one you'd think would be in

775
00:23:24,559 --> 00:23:26,320
a pretty basic system but it is not

776
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,360
installed by default

777
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:28,799
so in case you need to look up any

778
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:30,400
information about a command later you

779
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,240
want to have the manual pages installed

780
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,919
the next one is micro code

781
00:23:33,919 --> 00:23:37,360
so intel code is the package name for

782
00:23:37,360 --> 00:23:39,679
intel processors if you have an amd

783
00:23:39,679 --> 00:23:42,640
processor then you would install amd u

784
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,679
code instead

785
00:23:43,679 --> 00:23:45,600
if you have an intel processor that's

786
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:46,720
intel u code

787
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,279
and that's micro code in layman's terms

788
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:51,520
the processor manufacturers use that to

789
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,600
correct errors and things like that over

790
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,080
time

791
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,240
possibly security fixes so it's

792
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,440
generally a good idea to have them

793
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,000
installed

794
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,279
we need to make sure we install our

795
00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:01,279
bootloader and just installing the

796
00:24:01,279 --> 00:24:03,039
package is not enough we'll configure it

797
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:04,559
later but for right now we do want to

798
00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:06,559
make sure the grub package is installed

799
00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:08,880
efi boot manager is something that grub

800
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,000
depends on for

801
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,799
installing on an efi system and finally

802
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:13,600
console

803
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,600
is one console is not included in the

804
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,520
plasma group they leave it out just in

805
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,440
case you like plasma but you prefer a

806
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,960
different terminal emulator

807
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,360
but later when we get into our our fresh

808
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:24,000
plasma

809
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,520
install you're going to see it's pretty

810
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,120
minimal the first thing you're going to

811
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:28,880
want to do is install more packages

812
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,600
probably

813
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,279
and without a terminal emulator it's

814
00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:32,480
going to be hard to install more

815
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,080
packages you're going to have to control

816
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:34,320
alt

817
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,640
f5 into a virtual terminal and you know

818
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,480
it works but it's just not as nice

819
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,240
since we know that we'll need a terminal

820
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,240
emulator later we'll install it right

821
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:42,880
now

822
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,640
so at this point i'll hit enter and as

823
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,080
you can see it lists out

824
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,240
a ton of stuff it's going to download

825
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,159
882 megabytes and it's going to

826
00:24:50,159 --> 00:24:51,760
decompress that into about

827
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,799
3.3 gigabytes worth of packages you may

828
00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:55,840
or may not see

829
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,480
a message about selecting which items

830
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,080
from a group you want to install

831
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,400
if you do see one you can just hit enter

832
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,400
to select everything within the group

833
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,159
you can always remove things later and

834
00:25:06,159 --> 00:25:07,919
it won't affect the other items that

835
00:25:07,919 --> 00:25:09,440
were installed as part of the group and

836
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,039
at this point we just sit back and wait

837
00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:12,880
while the entire system is downloaded

838
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:20,789
and installed

839
00:25:20,799 --> 00:25:23,039
all right and that is all finished only

840
00:25:23,039 --> 00:25:24,559
took a minute or two

841
00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:26,240
and at this point we're almost ready to

842
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,480
actually start using our new system

843
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,480
at least to configure it from our live

844
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:31,600
environment here

845
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,360
before we enter into it though we need

846
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:35,360
to generate an fstab file that's our

847
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:37,520
file system tab it's going to list

848
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,440
the partitions that we need mounted when

849
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,640
we boot so

850
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,200
to do that we're going to run gin fs tab

851
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:44,320
dash capital u

852
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,520
that's going to use uuids in our fs tab

853
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,080
mnt is going to be our route and we're

854
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,600
going to put the file in

855
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,520
mnt etc fs tab and once that's done we

856
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,080
can actually

857
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,000
ch root into the new system we're going

858
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,200
to use arch

859
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,760
dash ch root which is going to do some

860
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,600
extra stuff to make sure we have proper

861
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:04,640
networking and

862
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,320
service management and things like that

863
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,640
within the ch root so if you see this if

864
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,039
you run

865
00:26:09,039 --> 00:26:11,679
arch ch root and you successfully get

866
00:26:11,679 --> 00:26:12,960
into a prompt

867
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,799
then you have successfully installed

868
00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:16,480
arch linux now we do need to just

869
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,080
configure a few things before it's

870
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,679
actually a usable system

871
00:26:19,679 --> 00:26:21,360
we're going to set our time zone first

872
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:23,120
and foremost so for that we're going to

873
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:24,880
make a symbolic link

874
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,400
ln sf and we're going to link from

875
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,320
the time zone that we want to be our

876
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,480
default so that's going to be in user

877
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:32,960
share

878
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,960
zone info now if you're not sure what

879
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,799
time zone you need

880
00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:38,559
you can hit tab a couple times and see

881
00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:39,919
your options listed

882
00:26:39,919 --> 00:26:42,480
for me i want to be in america as my

883
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,279
region

884
00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:44,799
and then i'm going to use there are a

885
00:26:44,799 --> 00:26:47,360
lot of different options here but i'm

886
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:49,120
going to use the denver time zone

887
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:51,440
and i'm going to link that to etsy local

888
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,600
time and that's going to basically make

889
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:54,720
our local time

890
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,880
appear in the denver time zone we're

891
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,400
going to run hw clock

892
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,760
dash dash cis 2 hc that is going to

893
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:02,480
synchronize

894
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,559
our clock from our system's hardware

895
00:27:04,559 --> 00:27:06,320
clock which is usually running in

896
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,200
utc but now our system clock in our time

897
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:10,080
zone that we just set

898
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,400
should be all synced up incorrect next

899
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,000
we're going to set up our locale

900
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,760
so for that we're going to run nano

901
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,279
slash etc

902
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:21,120
locale dot gen now this file has a list

903
00:27:21,120 --> 00:27:23,200
of different locales that you can enable

904
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,720
we're actually going to use one of the

905
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,399
examples up here we're just going to

906
00:27:26,399 --> 00:27:28,039
come down to this

907
00:27:28,039 --> 00:27:30,559
nus.utf8 you probably want to be using

908
00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:31,360
utf

909
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:33,679
so we're going to uncomment this and i'm

910
00:27:33,679 --> 00:27:35,520
just going to hit the delete key until

911
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:36,000
that

912
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,320
example line is the beginning of the

913
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,360
line here now

914
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:41,840
this exact line is also contained in its

915
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,000
proper alphabetical place lower down in

916
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:44,960
this file

917
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:46,480
but since it's listed up here as an

918
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,399
example this is just a text file

919
00:27:48,399 --> 00:27:50,159
anything with a hash mark at the

920
00:27:50,159 --> 00:27:51,440
beginning is a comment

921
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,640
so it doesn't really matter if you

922
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,399
uncomment the example line or if you

923
00:27:54,399 --> 00:27:55,120
uncomment

924
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:57,279
the actual line later because they are

925
00:27:57,279 --> 00:27:58,159
identical

926
00:27:58,159 --> 00:27:59,600
after we've done that we are going to

927
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,080
run locale gin and that is going

928
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,799
to read from the file and generate

929
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:06,399
anything that we uncommented so you can

930
00:28:06,399 --> 00:28:07,840
see that has been generated

931
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,760
next we're going to nano into etsy

932
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:10,960
locale dot

933
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,279
conf and this is where we're going to

934
00:28:13,279 --> 00:28:15,360
set once again the exact same one that

935
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:16,080
we just set

936
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,799
so lang equals in us.utf-8

937
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:23,279
and we can stop there so whatever you

938
00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:24,840
uncommented in

939
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,640
etsylocal.gen that's probably what you

940
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,200
want to type into etsylocal.com as well

941
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,120
and that lang is an environment variable

942
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:32,640
that way programs that run

943
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,640
know what locale they're supposed to use

944
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,399
next up a little bit more networking

945
00:28:36,399 --> 00:28:38,559
stuff we need to set the host name

946
00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:41,520
so for that we'll edit etsy host name

947
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,200
and i'm going to make this machine

948
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,279
called archbox

949
00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:47,520
we'll keep it simple and then we're

950
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,919
going to set that same host name

951
00:28:49,919 --> 00:28:53,679
in our etsy hosts file so that when we

952
00:28:53,679 --> 00:28:55,760
attempt to connect to archbox our

953
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,440
networking stack knows that it needs to

954
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:58,080
connect to

955
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,840
itself so 127.0.0.1 is a loopback

956
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:02,559
address

957
00:29:02,559 --> 00:29:04,399
and we're actually going to set that to

958
00:29:04,399 --> 00:29:06,399
localhost when we type in localhost we

959
00:29:06,399 --> 00:29:07,919
want it to resolve to our loopback

960
00:29:07,919 --> 00:29:08,720
address

961
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,399
we're going to do the same thing for our

962
00:29:10,399 --> 00:29:12,799
ipv6 loopback address

963
00:29:12,799 --> 00:29:14,799
localhost and then on the third line

964
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:18,159
we're going to put 127.0.1.1

965
00:29:18,159 --> 00:29:20,000
and this is where we're going to use our

966
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,440
hostname that we set

967
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,880
so archbox.localdomain and

968
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,880
archbox if you've actually got a domain

969
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,399
that you're putting this on you can type

970
00:29:28,399 --> 00:29:28,880
that in

971
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,960
instead of local domain but this line is

972
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,880
saying that either of these two things

973
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,120
archbox or archbox.local domain if

974
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,039
somebody types that into a web browser

975
00:29:37,039 --> 00:29:38,640
or a command or anything else

976
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,399
it should resolve to 127.0.1.1

977
00:29:42,399 --> 00:29:44,720
so we'll save that etsy hosts file next

978
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,240
we're going to create an initial ram

979
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:46,880
disk

980
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,039
uh we're going to do that with make init

981
00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:50,399
cpio

982
00:29:50,399 --> 00:29:52,720
capital p and the capital p is going to

983
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,640
use any presets that are in our system

984
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,080
configuration files

985
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,600
now you don't technically need to do

986
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,679
this because it was done as part of the

987
00:29:59,679 --> 00:30:01,200
installation process when we installed

988
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,799
the linux kernel package

989
00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:04,720
as part of the pack strap command this

990
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,960
was run i just like to run it one more

991
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,039
time just to make sure that we do have

992
00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:10,880
an initial ram disk because that's one

993
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,399
of the two things that you absolutely

994
00:30:12,399 --> 00:30:12,799
need

995
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:14,799
to boot a linux system the other one

996
00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:16,240
being the kernel itself

997
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,520
next we're going to set our root

998
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,279
password if we were to reboot right now

999
00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:21,039
we would not be able to log in because

1000
00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:22,960
no users have any passwords including

1001
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:23,919
the root account

1002
00:30:23,919 --> 00:30:25,679
and we can't log in without a password

1003
00:30:25,679 --> 00:30:26,960
so we are going to run

1004
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,360
password and our password i'm going to

1005
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,760
set to a very secure password since this

1006
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,919
is the root user we're talking about

1007
00:30:33,919 --> 00:30:35,919
so that's done at this point i'm going

1008
00:30:35,919 --> 00:30:38,320
to install the bootloader grub

1009
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,600
now we already installed the grub

1010
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,120
package but we actually need to run the

1011
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:41,679
grub

1012
00:30:41,679 --> 00:30:44,799
install command to install it to our efi

1013
00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:46,480
system partition our esp

1014
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,159
so we're going to run grub install

1015
00:30:48,159 --> 00:30:49,600
target equals x

1016
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,720
86 64 dash efi

1017
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,080
dash dash efi directory equals slash

1018
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:56,480
boot

1019
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,960
slash efi so if you're using something

1020
00:30:58,960 --> 00:30:59,600
like just

1021
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,760
slash efi you might be able to omit this

1022
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:02,720
option here

1023
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,559
since this utility will look in a couple

1024
00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:05,919
of default locations

1025
00:31:05,919 --> 00:31:07,600
since boot efi is not the default

1026
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,679
location for arch we're going to specify

1027
00:31:09,679 --> 00:31:10,159
it

1028
00:31:10,159 --> 00:31:12,640
and then we're going to add bootloader

1029
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:13,200
id

1030
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,960
equals grub so if your system's uefi

1031
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,440
setup utility has a list of different

1032
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:20,720
boot loaders that it can

1033
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,120
open up for you and start this would

1034
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,000
show up as grub

1035
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,080
in there another common one to see is

1036
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,440
linux boot manager

1037
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:28,960
or windows boot manager for windows

1038
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,200
systems so we'll run that and

1039
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,200
if we see installation finish no air

1040
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,120
reported then we should be good to go

1041
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,919
as far as the esp goes now grub is

1042
00:31:37,919 --> 00:31:39,679
installed right now if we rebooted right

1043
00:31:39,679 --> 00:31:40,960
now grub would start

1044
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,559
but grub would not be able to start our

1045
00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:43,919
arch linux system because even though

1046
00:31:43,919 --> 00:31:44,960
grub is installed

1047
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,279
we haven't configured grub so to do that

1048
00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:48,559
we'll run grub

1049
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:51,440
make config dash o for output we're

1050
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:52,880
going to output to boot

1051
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,480
grub grub dot cfg and so when grub

1052
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,080
starts it's going to get loaded from

1053
00:31:58,080 --> 00:31:59,360
boot efi

1054
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,360
and then once it's running it's going to

1055
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,760
look in boot grub grub dot cfg

1056
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,679
for its actual configuration so at this

1057
00:32:05,679 --> 00:32:07,600
point we would actually be able to boot

1058
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,360
our system if we rebooted

1059
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,919
and log in so that's a milestone right

1060
00:32:11,919 --> 00:32:12,880
there

1061
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,399
we're going to finish it up though so

1062
00:32:14,399 --> 00:32:16,240
that we can get right into a gui when we

1063
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,120
reboot

1064
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,880
we need to make our display manager

1065
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,320
actually start

1066
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,640
with the system by default so to do that

1067
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,399
we're going to type systemctl

1068
00:32:24,399 --> 00:32:28,159
enable sddm now if you are using a

1069
00:32:28,159 --> 00:32:28,880
laptop

1070
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,159
with nvidia and intel hybrid graphics so

1071
00:32:32,159 --> 00:32:33,840
if you've got an nvidia gpu

1072
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,480
and an intel gpu um there are multiple

1073
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,159
names for that nvidia prime

1074
00:32:38,159 --> 00:32:40,399
nvidia optimus if you've got one of

1075
00:32:40,399 --> 00:32:41,519
those laptops

1076
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:43,120
and that happens to include a lot of

1077
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,600
mid-range system 76 laptops

1078
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,200
then there's an extra step you need to

1079
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,840
perform for sddm you need to nano into

1080
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:50,399
user

1081
00:32:50,399 --> 00:32:53,840
share sddm scripts x setup

1082
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,679
and the step that you need to perform

1083
00:32:55,679 --> 00:32:57,279
here is going to be different based on

1084
00:32:57,279 --> 00:32:58,640
your display manager so if you're

1085
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,559
installing gnome with gdm

1086
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:02,480
you still have to do something it's not

1087
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,840
this exact thing

1088
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,159
but you still do need to to make a

1089
00:33:06,159 --> 00:33:07,760
desktop file and make it

1090
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:09,120
run the commands that we're about to

1091
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,000
type in sddm is actually pretty simple

1092
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,440
once again this is only if you have a

1093
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,200
laptop that has both intel

1094
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,120
and nvidia graphics if it's got

1095
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,320
switchable graphics

1096
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,559
you want to open this file up and type

1097
00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:21,519
in x r

1098
00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:25,039
and r dash set provider output

1099
00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:28,320
source mode setting nvidia

1100
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,440
xero x r and r dash dash auto

1101
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,440
and that's it um and at this point we

1102
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,880
would save this file

1103
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,559
now i'm not going to save this because

1104
00:33:36,559 --> 00:33:38,720
i'm actually on a desktop computer

1105
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,880
and it only has nvidia graphics and if

1106
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,399
you've got a laptop with

1107
00:33:42,399 --> 00:33:44,640
anything else if you've got amd graphics

1108
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,640
or intel graphics or if you only have

1109
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,399
nvidia you don't need this step once

1110
00:33:48,399 --> 00:33:49,840
again that is only for people with

1111
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,519
switchable graphics laptops

1112
00:33:51,519 --> 00:33:53,279
i know that there are people out there

1113
00:33:53,279 --> 00:33:55,200
who have those and this is a common

1114
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,399
thing to get hung up on when you're

1115
00:33:56,399 --> 00:33:57,600
trying to get arch working on one of

1116
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:58,799
those machines

1117
00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:00,960
so i wanted to mention that now doing

1118
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,559
that actually reminded me that i

1119
00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:04,720
actually forgot one package earlier when

1120
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,159
we were running our pack strap command

1121
00:34:06,159 --> 00:34:07,679
that's the nvidia driver i didn't

1122
00:34:07,679 --> 00:34:09,200
install the nvidia driver

1123
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,960
so when we reboot we would get that no

1124
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,359
view driver the nouveau driver

1125
00:34:13,359 --> 00:34:16,159
which is liable to freeze so to correct

1126
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:18,079
that just to demonstrate since we're ch

1127
00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:19,119
rooted into

1128
00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:22,000
our installed system here i can just run

1129
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,040
pacman

1130
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,000
s nvidia um in pac-man space dash

1131
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:26,639
capital s

1132
00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:28,240
that's just how you install a new

1133
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:31,200
package on an arch linux system

1134
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,359
so you can see that is going to pull in

1135
00:34:33,359 --> 00:34:35,280
our nvidia driver and i'm going to run

1136
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:35,679
that

1137
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:37,119
if you think of anything else you want

1138
00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:38,560
to install you know you can install

1139
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,159
firefox you can install

1140
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:42,720
uh gnome 2048 you can install any

1141
00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:44,560
anything that you want to while we're

1142
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,320
in this system here and then if you

1143
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,679
install it now up front

1144
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:48,879
you won't have to remember to go and

1145
00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:50,720
install it later so the nvidia driver is

1146
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:51,760
installed now

1147
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,079
we're getting really close uh to the end

1148
00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:55,280
here now we do

1149
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,960
want networking to start up

1150
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,800
automatically when we reboot the system

1151
00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:59,839
once again

1152
00:34:59,839 --> 00:35:02,640
um we did install iwd earlier just as a

1153
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,480
backup plan in case network manager

1154
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,119
doesn't work

1155
00:35:05,119 --> 00:35:06,800
but since we're using network manager we

1156
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,280
are going to run systemctl enable

1157
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,240
network manager and we can see that is

1158
00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:13,119
successful

1159
00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:14,720
the last thing we need to do before we

1160
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:16,720
reboot is actually make ourself a user

1161
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:17,920
account because everything we've been

1162
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:18,560
doing

1163
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,960
has been run from root and when we

1164
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,560
reboot we're going to see right now an

1165
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,720
sddm screen with no users listed since

1166
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,560
we can't log into a gui as root

1167
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,480
so to add a user account for ourself we

1168
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,000
will run user add

1169
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,880
dash m that is going to create our home

1170
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,079
directory which you

1171
00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:36,400
need it to do that to avoid issues with

1172
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,680
certain programs

1173
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,800
we're going to run dash capital g wheel

1174
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,960
and that is going to also add this user

1175
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,880
to the wheel group as an additional

1176
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,800
group since that g is capital this is

1177
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,640
not going to take over as our primary

1178
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,079
group it's just an additional group

1179
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:51,119
we'll be in

1180
00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:52,800
and then the username i'm going to make

1181
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,880
it jacob now the reason why

1182
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,920
i'm putting that g wheel in there is

1183
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,040
because we're going to use the wheel

1184
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,480
group for sudoing which we'll get to in

1185
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:01,280
just a moment

1186
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,920
first though i do just want to set the

1187
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,839
password for the new jacob account

1188
00:36:05,839 --> 00:36:08,960
so i'll go ahead and do that okay my

1189
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,720
password is set so i would be able to

1190
00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:11,680
log in now

1191
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,440
and now i do want to add myself to the

1192
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,119
sutures group because everybody knows

1193
00:36:15,119 --> 00:36:16,960
how annoying it is to try running a sudo

1194
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,720
command and you get that weird error

1195
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:20,079
message that's telling you that it's

1196
00:36:20,079 --> 00:36:21,359
reporting to somebody

1197
00:36:21,359 --> 00:36:22,960
that you're not on the sudoers file and

1198
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,800
you try to use sudo and you're thinking

1199
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,400
who can it possibly be reporting to

1200
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,240
because i'm the owner of this machine

1201
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:29,520
so to make sure that we don't have to

1202
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,440
deal with that we're going to nano into

1203
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:31,760
our

1204
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,680
etsy sudoers file and we are going to

1205
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,119
do a search for wheel and down here

1206
00:36:39,119 --> 00:36:40,400
we've got uncomment

1207
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,480
to allow all members of group wheel to

1208
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,640
execute any command with sudo

1209
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,480
uh so we'll uncomment that we'll save

1210
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,880
that file and that is everything we need

1211
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:49,680
to do

1212
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,920
to have a perfectly functional

1213
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,000
installation of arch linux on this

1214
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:54,720
system

1215
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:56,480
so to demonstrate i'm going to exit out

1216
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,720
of the ch route i do like to run

1217
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:00,400
sync at this point because depending on

1218
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,400
your hardware if the shutdown goes wrong

1219
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:03,599
and you have to hold down the power

1220
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:04,400
button

1221
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,320
to actually get it to turn off i don't

1222
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:08,079
want to have to guess well what was

1223
00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:09,760
everything that i did written to disk or

1224
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:10,800
not so i just run

1225
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,320
sync to have a little bit of peace of

1226
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,400
mind and then we're going to run sudo

1227
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,119
systemctl reboot to actually restart

1228
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:18,240
this system

1229
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:20,480
and i will show you that it is a

1230
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,240
perfectly usable system

1231
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:24,960
it looks beautiful with k2e plasma you

1232
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,880
know just as usable as any

1233
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,720
gui distribution and like if you had

1234
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,240
installed kubuntu

1235
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:33,040
or kde neon or something like that so

1236
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,640
here you can see grub works

1237
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,040
and automatically after five seconds it

1238
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,480
is going to boot our default

1239
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,320
image which is arch and we can see our

1240
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,040
fs tab

1241
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,880
checking our root partition and you can

1242
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,480
see we do have sddm

1243
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,800
uh so this is our login screen we've got

1244
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,640
that showing up properly plasma is the

1245
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:51,040
only

1246
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,880
desktop environment that we have

1247
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,880
installed right now

1248
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,680
so i can enter in my password here and

1249
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,920
we will log into kde plasma we can see

1250
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:01,040
network manager

1251
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,560
is working because we've got our wired

1252
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,480
connection 2 activated automatically

1253
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:05,200
there

1254
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,200
and we have a fully functional gui

1255
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,520
environment this is arch linux and after

1256
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:10,160
just

1257
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,160
an hour just under an hour on the

1258
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:13,200
recording right now

1259
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,839
including the introduction we have a

1260
00:38:15,839 --> 00:38:17,200
functioning gui here

1261
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,119
so arts linux is not opposed to a gui

1262
00:38:19,119 --> 00:38:20,640
it's just opposed to a gui

1263
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,520
during the installation if i open up our

1264
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,119
menu here we can do just a couple of

1265
00:38:25,119 --> 00:38:27,440
basic tasks to demonstrate there's no

1266
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,359
tricks here this system really is ready

1267
00:38:29,359 --> 00:38:31,200
for use now we can go to our theme

1268
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,640
i'm going to set this to the breeze dark

1269
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,480
theme since i personally think that one

1270
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:35,680
looks a little bit

1271
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,240
nicer on the eyes and then one notable

1272
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:39,920
thing that is missing right now is a web

1273
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,040
browser we don't have

1274
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,720
firefox or anything installed like that

1275
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:44,560
by default and i'm not going to install

1276
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,240
firefox by default because i don't like

1277
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:48,079
the direction that mozilla is going

1278
00:38:48,079 --> 00:38:50,320
and it's a very large package if you

1279
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,359
don't actually

1280
00:38:51,359 --> 00:38:53,040
use it so i am going to open up console

1281
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,800
the terminal that we luckily remembered

1282
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,079
to install earlier

1283
00:38:56,079 --> 00:38:59,440
and we are going to run sudo pacman s

1284
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,160
falcon which is kde's web browser i'm

1285
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,599
going to run that we're going to see

1286
00:39:03,599 --> 00:39:04,000
that

1287
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,480
sudo is configured properly because it

1288
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,240
lets us run this command

1289
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:10,960
so that confirms that we set that up and

1290
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,480
installation is done

1291
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,960
i'll x out of our console there and i'm

1292
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,480
actually going to add console to our

1293
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,430
favorites menu

1294
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:20,880
and i'm going to do the same thing with

1295
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,599
falcon now that that is installed

1296
00:39:23,599 --> 00:39:28,560
add to favorites i'll drag these up here

1297
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,400
and i can open up falcon and now we can

1298
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,079
actually browse the web

1299
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:33,760
and do whatever it is that you were

1300
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,280
planning on doing

1301
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,800
with your computer so did this take a

1302
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:39,920
few minutes more than

1303
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,400
installing ubuntu yes i probably could

1304
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,160
have done it in about half the time if i

1305
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:45,680
wasn't explaining what i was doing

1306
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:46,640
verbally

1307
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,800
but it is still even for me a little bit

1308
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,560
slower than installing ubuntu but the

1309
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,720
upshot is that you've got a very minimal

1310
00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:54,079
system you know like i said we don't

1311
00:39:54,079 --> 00:39:56,160
have firefox we don't have

1312
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,320
libreoffice or you know things that you

1313
00:39:58,320 --> 00:39:59,440
don't necessarily

1314
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,599
need on your system are not going to be

1315
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:03,200
present by default

1316
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,040
and whatever you want to install you're

1317
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,640
now free to install

1318
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,520
as you wish so i hope this video was

1319
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,040
helpful to some of you guys out there

1320
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:11,760
maybe you've been

1321
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,680
wanting to try arch linux for a while

1322
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,119
but like i said maybe

1323
00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:17,280
the arch linux installation guide just

1324
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:18,800
kind of overwhelms you it's got a lot of

1325
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:19,680
information

1326
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,599
you just need somebody to kind of boil

1327
00:40:21,599 --> 00:40:23,200
down what actually

1328
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,760
you need to do which steps are actually

1329
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:26,720
necessary

1330
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:28,880
in order to get a functioning system so

1331
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,000
hopefully this

1332
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,480
helped with that if it did help feel

1333
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,640

i'm working on some bigger projects

1342
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:49,760
right now and it's not always easy to

1343
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,760
churn out tech videos like this one

1344
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,760
but hopefully this had some value at

1345
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,520
least and with that

1346
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:56,800

this video so i'm jacob kauff and i'm
