Step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring arch linux (i3wm) Based on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxeriGuJKTM

Get ISO and b2sums, verification

$ mkdir ARCH_INIT
$ cd ARCH_INIT
$ curl -O https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/iso/latest/archlinux-[version]-x86_64.iso
$ curl -O https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/iso/latest/b2sums.txt
# verificcation
$ $ b2sum -c b2sums.txt
# install to USB
$ lsblk
$ sudo dd bs=4M if=path/to/archlinux-version-x86_64.iso of=/dev/disk/by-id/usb-My_flash_drive conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress
# restart system and start from USB

Set WiFi connect

# see device name (wlan0)
ip addr show
iwctl
station wlan0 get-networks
exit
iwctl --passphrase "you_pass" station wlan0 connect network_name

Disk partitioning

$ lsblk
fdisk /dev/disk_name
g
p
n # +1G
n # +1G
n # +100% FREE
w

Disk formatting

mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/disk_name1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/disk_name2
# create LVM with crypt
cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/disk_name3
cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/disk_name3 lvm
pvcreate /dev/mapper/lvm
vgcreate volgroup0 /dev/mapper/lvm
lvcreate -L 40GB volgroup0 -n lv_root
lvcreate -L 100%FREE volgroup0 -n lv_home
lvdisplay
modprobe dm_mod
vgscan
vgchange -ay
mkfs.ext4 /dev/volgroup0/lv_root
mkfs.ext4 /dev/volgroup0/lv_home

Mount

mount /dev/volgroup0/lv_root /mnt
mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/disk_name2 /mnt/boot
mkdir /mnt/home
