I turned my personal Arch Linux installation notes into a public guide and wanted to share it.
It is a set of lab notes for a fully manual install, with the exact commands written down along with the reasoning behind each choice. It is, of course, not a replacement for the Arch Wiki.
The guide is structured as a modular walkthrough, with clear paths for choices like ext4 vs Btrfs, optional full disk encryption, optional NVIDIA drivers, and different package selections.
It also covers how to perform the install over SSH for easy copy and paste, NVMe 4K alignment, TRIM passthrough with LUKS, and systemd-boot UEFI boot manager.
The main goal was to reduce the amount of re-research needed for each install while keeping everything explicit and understandable.
I also used this as an excuse to experiment with writing documentation using Zensical and to try applying most of the features it provides. Hopefully I did not overdo it.
The guide is open source and licensed under Apache 2.0 or MIT, so you can fork it and adapt it to your own setup.
Would love any feedback.
