Guiding principles in the order of priority:
- Practicality
- Minimalism
- Aesthetics
Create partitions with the labels "Arch Linux" for root and "Swap" for swap. Install the base packages:
# pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware base-devel intel-ucode broadcom-wl neovim git
Clone this repository after chrooting into the system and run installer.sh. The steps left are:
- Configure and regenerate the initramfs for hibernation support.
- Add a superuser password.
- Create a user with sudo privileges.
Exit from the live installer and reboot.
Run the set-up-system script (add or remove packages as necessary).
Change the default shell to zsh.
$ chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh
Reboot.
A native Tex Live installation is recommended now instead of the Arch-packaged one (see the Arch Wiki article on Tex Live).
