thanks for this calm install guide, usually when installing arch using other guides i get very angry and break my thinkpad and start eating the internal components, it usually takes like 50 minutes to calm down after that and by then i've ruined 8 friendships and got a divorce. I really appreciate it.

I thought the Archlinux install wiki was a bit complicated - and I followed couple of other youtube vids - and had lots of issues. I find THIS guy - followed him exactly as HE followed the wiki and everything worked!. I can't believe he's only has 7K subscribers - he is a fantastic teacher. If I can find some way to buy him a coffee I'll be happy to contribute...

@@thatoneocto I was about to say this the wiki is cool and all but it really only shows how to just barely get it running if at all. The second half with the bootloader is definitely a struggle. They should add some full install examples so you can do it a few times to get used to doing it a specific way then be able to go back and customize it.

This is by far the best Arch tutorial ever made, currently re watching for the third time cause it's so good.

This is one of the best, simple, informative arch install guide I ever get to see in youtube.

I know that this vid has been 2yrs now but im still greatful that finally I successfully installed the archlinux manually for the first time because of him!thank you so much denshi for these tutorial and thanks for your generosity.

You sir are a tremendous help. It only took me 5 tries until I noticed my mistake was right in front of me. This is a very accurate and comfy video, happy 420.

You forgot one thing. Before generating the grub file, you should install the microcode for your CPU. It's used to apply security and performance patches to your CPU. For amd, it's: "sudo pacman -S amd-ucode" and for intel it's: "sudo pacman -S intel-ucode". Nevertheless, great video!

Can you make a video on how to manage Arch over time? Like if log files, cache, clunk starts to build up? Also any important post-install tweaks

Thanks, Denshi! Now I can go into every corner of the World Wide Web and saying something along the lines of "i use arch btw" while simultaneously sharing screenshots of my desktop with a terminal window open with the CLI program "neofetch". Jokes aside, this tutorial is very straightforward! I recommend it!

Thanks, just finished installing and this tutorial was extremely helpful.

Man a awesome tutorial, the first one who is easy to follow, and not unimportant, it works in one go. Thanks

I don't think I've ever commented on a youtube video before but I can't thank you enough for this guide. Have tried so many times to install Arch over my very short Linux journey and this was incredible and I got it first try. Thanks again.

I must say I'm kinda proud of myself because there were only a few spots that screwed me up and stopped me from connecting to the wifi after installation and stopped me from running Cinnamon desktop environment. (I needed the display manager which I had no idea what that was.) The rest I got completely from researching the wiki. Great video! Helped me get through that final bit.

Awesome guide. Took me my time but still works, ty so much!

Hi Denshi, Thanks for your Video. Has been a great help for me! As many Fellows have said, after nearly 2 days (18 hrs plus) trying to make a Manual install of Arch (without archinstall) and breaking 5 or 6 installations, thanks to your Guide I've completed it successfully! 🤩😄👍

i can’t express how thankful I am for this video

Best tutorial I’ve ever seen on KZread so far

Don't look for other arch-install guide, this channel got you. 👊

This is the first time I installed Arch Linux on my own. Earlier, I used arch-based distros just to avoid the installation process but your guide seemed really easy to follow. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

it's the third time I'm installing arch using this step-by-step, it never fails

This guide was very helpful when setting up Arch on my drive, I was able to install my custom-built system’s hardware firmware through the AUR not long after watching.

Fantastic install guide Denshi. Thank you =)

It was a really good guide. Thanks for timestamps.

Amazing! I had no issues at all installing this on my new hard drive!

Just want to say thank you. Best simple and quick tutorial. I’ve installed arch with the script in the past , this method fixes things out of the box. I will say though it does introduce a lot of kde bloatware. That’s on me though. Thanks again.

While partitioning disks, cfdisk will by default choose sda, but make sure that’s the drive you want to use as your main boot, and not your USB. If you need a list of your drives use lsblk, if you try to write to your USB, you’ll probably fuck up the install.

Exactly, if your sda drive fails and you have multiple drives in your system (even a cd drive) they will all be shifted down by default which can cause some serious issues, even the arch Linux wiki recommends generating your fstab with the -U flag to ensure that it checks the UUID instead of the dev/ name
