Arch Linux speedr... wait what? Turns the page back. Turns it forward again. Arch Linux speedrun. A speedrun. Of a Linux. How the hell someone even came up with an idea like that?
there are also some waiting times when writing commands and spelling mistakes, just slow the video down and you can see if those are eliminated, this can probably be shortened by a few seconds and hardware makes the difference too, but i think that's a bit unfair for those with lower-end computers
Not sure if you could save time by utilizing ctrl+alt+arrow instead of installing tmux. Maybe a wall message after the pacman is done to sync when to hit enter?
I think the better method would be to retrieve pacman PID to busy-wait it with a while loop so that the commands would be run right when pacman finished
To get the work done and execute "mkfs.xfs /dev/sda1" without errors, you should do [Write] after making the actual partition of /dev/sda1, so it can exsist on the table of partitions.
