14:00 - install gnome
15:05 - restart installation, use systemd to run gdm
16:18 - start gdm service and load our GUI - Věda a technologie
I enjoy your videos very much I must say! I am just fearful that if I install Arch it's like the final puzzle piece with fall into place.. The fault lines will shift like never before. The ground will shake. Mother Earth will cry out with a groan that hasn't been heard since Jesus' pet lizards escaped his terrarium. God WILL be furious. At y'all, not me. He's knows I'm just a toddler who found a loaded revolver lol
Try through virtualization first. No sweat, just learning
Just in case you did NOT know. This is the clearest installation tutorial of ANY Linux distribution for beginners on CZcams🐧🐧🐧🐧
Thanks! :)
Agree! Great video, and not only installation but neat bits of great information! Great for newbies to be introduced to concepts like grub, file systems and systemd in a friendly manner
the purist doesn't like this way as they should
there are many I mean he just did an archinstall even a potato can do that 🫢 I dunno how you weren't able to find anything maybe you're just d...
@@user-vw2qt8vp8e OK, dude, everyone knows you're a potato
tbh i already installed arch but it's just fun watching this guy
the most arch btw comment you can see 😀
Same
Agree
Same😅
Honestly this guy is next level
One thing he forgot to mention at the start is that you need to be connected to the internet. If you're using WiFi, use iwctl to connect. If you're using LAN, then you don't need to configure anything
If you use ArchBang you can still install Archlinux no network connection is required.
I was on lan on an old laptop and it didn't connect.
I am using a MacBook, when I try to configure the wifi on the iwctl, with the command station list it does not find any network cards and I can't connect to the wifi. Anyone have the same problem?
@@fabiostefana8048 I followed this guide at minute 8 czcams.com/video/FxeriGuJKTM/video.html to be able to connect to wifi. Hope it helps.
I don't have a MacBook, so I'm not sure how to do it myself, but you can search online for "(MacBook your_version install Arch Linux)."
U can install DE in "PROFILE" section of the installer, select "DESKTOP" and then Gnome or whatever
I'm testing this on a vm. Thanks for the heads up
funny, I don't know how I missed that :). I guess it leads to a better tutorial on how to set up the gdm service and whatnot though. happy little accident!
@@typecraft_dev I agree, I also think it leads to a better tutorial. Great video btw
Cannot wait for typecraft arch based iso, full of all nerd goodness we need 🎉
What's nice about the profile setting is that it basically sets everything up for you. It even has a Hyprland profile now, too!
I am loving this series so far. Looking forward to episode 2!
Nerds, for Timezone is very important to set it correctly based on your location/region, to avoid potential issues later on locales & so on.
Waited a whole week for this ep, and it was more than worth it!
This video and the channel is pure gold. It made me want to embrace this new workflow. Keep doing the good work.
This was very well done and easy to follow as a Linux beginner! Can't wait for the other parts!
This was a fantastic video and I appreciate your very thorough walk-through! Because of it, I have been able to download and install Arch Linux for the first time and as being a "noob", am interested in seeing more episodes where we can move forward with this. Thanks!
Ok.. you convinced me. I used to run on Ubuntu years ago. I've been on macOS the last 15 years or so. I started using nvim about two months ago over vscode and moved back to Ubuntu full time last week. I have a new machine coming in tomorrow and I'm going to try Arch on it instead. Wish me luck!
Good luck! you can do this!
Mate your videos are going from strength to strength, love it! Thanks nerd!
Love this series every step explained efficiently. ❤
Hey man, keep it up. These guides are super clear, and I am finally making my transition to Linux cause of you. I've tinkered with Mint on other computers, but it's time to really understand how Linux works and make the full switch
Awesome video!
Been using Arch for a while now, but I love seeing these kinds of videos as I always learn something new.
Can't wait for the next one!
SUPER cool, educational, AND entertaining video! AMAZING job!
I remember when i had to go like 3 times through arch installation process to make it work as expected. Really good stuff man! congrats!
Your keyboard sounds really great! and thanks for the tuto!
I've been dailing arch for some time now. Personally I knew about the existence of the archinstall script but chose to avoid it because I figured I would learn more about the whole linux inner workings that way. It was the biggest reason I switched for the ubuntu I was rocking before. It is in fact a lot more advanced and you do learn a lot more doing it that way. At the same time I can't lie that this process is a LOT easier.
Either way, great video, I still managed to learn some things. Your neovim playlist a while back made me jump over and I cannot tell you how glad I am that I did so. Keep up the amazing work boss :)
That’s awesome! Happy to hear you liked the neovim stuff too thank you!
This is a God Send. I was intimidated when i first try to install Arch Linux. Panicked when it first booted to a command line. So I decided to install EndeavourOS. I'm now ready to jump back in to Arch Linux. You have a new subscriber!
Archlinux successfully installed xD great tutorial, love this series
I’m loving this series! 🎉
Due to your channel and the way to explains stuff -> i am just loving the linux env now. Good work -> keep it up
Fantastic guide! Looking forward to the next episode!
Thanks! Simply the best! Feelings of self growth are amazing. No way I've ever find time to read thru docs to start using it, but with your series most likely I will
Wonderful!

Best linux tutorial channel for beginners on yt
great stuff again on this channel, thanks a lot 👍
Awesome video, I really learned a lot. Thank you!
This is the best Arch Tutorial I've seen thus far, great job!
On a separate note, I love the sound of your keyboard. Based on you backwall I'm assuming custom, would you by chance share what board and switches you use?
It’s a happy hacking keyboard. So. Topre!
Thanks nerd! Was waiting for this a for a real long week, gonna do it now :D
thanks for making these videos. This is great stuff.
Looking forward to the next video :). I appreciate them as installments/episode. I don't feel obligated to sit and watch 2hrs+ of video. just 20min :)
English is not my native language but thanks to the quality of your tuto and the fact that you explain slowly I understood everything and what a great lesson for people who do not know linux I look forward to the sequel thank you to you ...
I can't wait for the next video😊
favorite new youtuber and series
You had me at the "beh-turfs" filesystem
Hey, great series. I was curious if plan to have a dedicated schedule for this series?
Great work, and thanks for all the background knowledge :D
The schedule is roughly 1 episode per week. total of 4-6 episodes (haven't decided)
I've recently started experementing with installing Arch🐧, now I'll finish the setup with your tutorial
thanks for video, i followed what you did and now am a Arch user btw
Great, concise, entertaining. Ty so much
Awesome video! Can't wait for the tiling wm! Im and xfce kind of guy but i really want to experiment with I3 ( at least as the first one)
arch installed successfully❤
thanks man
wes term by the way! i think the arch linux series is going to be a banger! So glad you will be going over wayland!
thank you sir, i was waiting for this video
its finally here! thanks nerd
TY !!! cant wait for the next episode
keep up the good work, these videos are the best
Appreciate it!
Great video! Btw, if you want to run the same command using sudo just type sudo !!
There’s a lot of memes and machismo but Arch is really not that bad nowadays. Anyone willing to learn can do it. Cool video, as always 🙌
Great video! I’m a Debian fan but have messed with Arch in the past. Might try this on my netbook N450.
Another great video!
Can't wait for the next video.
Me neither I hope I make it soon
i don't know if you changed the camera or lighting but, video colors looks great!
Great video! This inspired me to pull out an old laptop and install Arch on it. Did I tell you that I’m going to be running Arch on it, by the way?
waiting for the wm video. awesome content btw
Coming soon! And thanks!
Just waiting for the next episode.
I had problems trying to configure Wi-Fi to run archinstall, but I got some information from Arch docs.
Love this man. Can you do a video on endeavouros?
You are doing great job !!!
17:10 thrully the most important part of the all Tutorial! 🤡 Thanks @typecraft! Anxious to see the EP 3! 🏆
These videos are awesome.
simple and to the point, thanks nerd :)
loved it, thanks
amazing tutorial. looks like i know what im doing later with my old thinkpad!
The best guide, by far, on how to install Arch Linux. Thanks
love the video clear explanation, btw how to install the kde one ?
Do you have any thoughts on Arch vs MacOS? I have a 2019 i9 MBP and I am considering if I should dual boot Arch - for some reason my macOS partition can't be reduced in size after I removed a Bootcamp Windows install and reclaimed the space, so i will have to completely reformat and reinstall both macOS and Arch if i do try Arch... I am v familiar with Debian and was going to dual that until i saw you were doing vids on Arch :-) (macOS keeps going through mad CPU spikes which is v annoying)
Some gripes with the archinstall part of the video:
-Explaining what the different kernel types really are instead of meme-ing about it could be helpful
-Skipping over the Profile option seems like a weird idea, since it will also handle installing required components for desktop environments automatically, such as a terminal emulator and display manager (gdm/sddm) and enable required services for stuff like polkit and dbus. If you don't pick a profile you often have to get those and configure them manually.
-Telling people not to worry about Optional Repositories in the installer is also a bad idea since you absolutely need to enable multilib for any kind of gaming, it takes 1 second to enable in here, this just adds more fucking around with config files for no reason
Maybe one day I try Arch. For now I love Debian Stable + backports + flatpaks + custom Node, PHP repos so I have new versions in Debian Stable and there is basically no updates taking my time unless really necessary.
The explanation of different Linux kernels was hilarious!!
What do you think about using Arch in WSL2 instead of a separate VM instance?
Cool guide! One small thing tho, you seem to have overlooked disk encryption function in this guide. I'm sure this video mostly focus on basic installation, but since re-encrypt a disk/partition after an installation is quite complicated, and because disk encryption is an extremely important security function (especially for laptop users), imo introducing it as early as possible would be better for new users.
You outdid yourself here. Thank you.
This was awesome :) . Thank you.
You're awesome, thank you!
Great video - thanks a lot. You tempt me to return to arch 🤔....
I'm curious how you use gnome...? (theming, extensions or plain). Probably worth a short video I think...
he uses i3wm
I just installed Arch yesterday and your video was of great help. One thing that might be of use: I installed it on a corporate Thinkpad Laptop, and even though I choose an UEFI capable boot loader, Arch didn't boot after the first reboot. I needed to go to the BIOS settings and change the "sleep" option from Windows to Linux, also, disable safe boot. Just to test I didn't go with GNOME but with KDE and it was fairly easy following the arch documentation. If possible please make a video about the packet managers alternative to pacman and something about AUR, I went into the KDE Software center to try it and it installs using flatpack instead of pacman, and even though it works some applications can't seem to find the /app/ folder when they are installed from different packet managers (talking from my recent experience lol). I'll try to get familiarized with the environment and maybe try a tiling window manager once I'm comfortable with using more the terminal :)
I dual boot fedora and windows 11 on separate storage.
I need to have secure boot enabled for valorant.
Is it possible to install arch keeping secure boot enabled?
As far as I know its not possible.
Thank You.
installing arch is easy .....stopping it from breaking is NOT easy! You said "im sure you will get used to it" Getting used to something that must be fixed or repaired constantly is like buying a Harley Davidson or a jeep. They are great vehicles ....BUT you must constantly repair them.
Your video was extremely well done and for that i gave a thumbs up.
Thanks! I’m more of a Ford guy myself
On the archinstall step we can set the gnome as window environment but I think this way was way more interesting
Is that desktop in the background with recording running Windows?
now, we need EP2
I was so hyped for this - followed your Nvim and Tmux series and loving my setup now - but I just found out Arch won't install on Macs with Apple Silicon. So bummed :(
Very informative 👍🏻 thx
I believe that you didn't use the profile option from the "archinstall" script on purpose to show how the Desktop Environment as well as the Windows Manager and Display Manager are connected and enabled in the kernel. Also we could install both "linux" and "linux-lts" kernels, so as to have something to boot, in case one kernel doesn't boot. By the way, very good job, but it will be nice to see an full custom installation too. For example, using custom partitioning and LVM in order to have the ability to extend the hard disk drive. 😉
I use void BTW
I'm a longtime Windows user that now runs Arch Linux on my everyday computer. I used the archinstall command and all worked well for me. I have tried a bunch of different distros in VMs but I find that I prefer Arch. Thanks for the informative video.
Question - can I follow this series on my potato 32-bit laptop? with the Arch 32-bit ISO?
Great video. The only part I think could be improved is for you to add an explanation of why Neofetch should be installed.
I don't get how gnome transitions the system from a terminal to an actual GUI. How does it do that? Is all the graphical stuff always running "over" the initial terminal?
I love that Keyboard sound, which kb is it ?
happy hacking pro! its the best been using it for like 10 years :)
Thanks what's the kde plazma command instead of gnome?
Btrfs is pronounced butter-fs btw
I've heard "better" xD
Darn I just wrote this exact comment with the btw
Bruh
btrfs is very good, but as it's under development it has some pros and cons depending on the use case though. For example, Pros: 1. Snapshots are built-in and they can help you revert to a previous state after testing something. 2. Sub-volumes, which are very similar to partitions, but they're implemented quite differently, as they keep track of size differently. 3. Checksum, which helps ensure data integrity and protects against bit rot. -- Cons: 1. Built-in implementation of RAID. RAID levels in btrfs aren't completely the same as their standard definitions. So I suggest to not use RAID in btrfs just yet. 2. Some features are unreliable. Consult the status page for the latest info on feature stability, because feature status will change as btrfs is developed. 3. It's reputation as some consider it unstable and unreliable (but is it? Well in my opinion yes, but it's depending on the use case, which is normal as btrfs is still under development). Fedora and SUSE use it as the default and I believe it's stable enough as long as you research which features are ready.
As soon as my fedora falls me, I will definitely come back to this.
Possible to break when updating???
i would say probable, particularly if you're over-using the AUR.
despite what some people say, archinstall does work properly but I do recommend you manually create your partition layout with cfdisk first before using archinstall. after that it all comes down to preferences, I don't like gnome. I installed hyprland for wayland, and xfce for x11 (you will need a desktop environment for both due to compatibility).
Hey can you make a short video how you configure your virtualbox. I'm getting error installing it on m series chip. Google say they don't have stable release for macbook m series. so need a short video to show how to configure properly
btrfs or betterFS :) Keep up the awesome work!!!
should i install arch or go with another linux like mint or ubuntu im a complete beginner pls respond
Doesn’t the archinstall script let you choose the display manager and DE/WM?
What is the better option using VBox or dual boot?
