Note: This is a forever work in progress

  • Read The Fabulous Manual (RTFM) always, like Archwiki , geento wiki or Self-doc written by project, this repo dotfile guide is considered out of date by design

  • Read dualboot.md if you want to install windows(WinterOS) :P

Take This notes, to read path

  • Root Path: "/"
  • User Path: "~/"
  • Github Path: "~/dotfiles/"

Installation

You need to download an archlinux iso and burn the iso into a bootable usb, i recomend Ventoy, plug the usb in the pc, then start the installation commands, also read Official Guide Installation by Archwiki

Change Layout to Latam

loadkeys la-latin1

NOTE: Ethernet automatically work

Connect to internet via Wi-Fi

Test internet connectivity

ping -c 1 google.cl

Connect Wifi with ip a you can view station, usually is wlan0 in my device

ip a
iwctl station "station" scan
iwctl station "station" get-networks
iwctl station "station" connect "Your\ SSID"

Choose your BIOS mode between UEFY or Legacy bios by ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/, if shows no such file or directory you need to choose legacy BIOS, if show files, choose UEFI

Legacy Bios (MBR)

Partitions

cfdisk dev/sdx // (nvmexnx)
  dev/sda1 512M/Primary/Linux
  dev/sda2 dejando 4G/Primary/Linux
  dev/sda3 4G/Primary/Linux Swap
  "Write" y salir

Look at Partitions

lsblk

Create File System

mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sda1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
mkswap /dev/sda3
swapon /dev/sda3

Mount File System

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
UEFI BIOS(GPT)

Partitions

cfdisk /dev/device
  dev/device1 512M/EFI System
  dev/devive2 dejando 4G/Linux filesystem
  dev/device3 4G/Primary/Linux Swap
  "Write" y salir

Look at Partitions

lsblk

Create File Systems

mkfs.vfat -F 32 -S 4096 /dev/device1
mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 /dev/device2
mkswap /dev/device3
swapon /dev/device3

Mount Partitions NOTE: Boot is mounted next

mount /dev/device2 /mnt
mkdir /mnt/boot/
mount /dev/device1 -t vfat /mnt/boot/

Install with pacstrap

pacstrap /mnt linux linux-firmware linux-headers networkmanager grub wpa_supplicant base base-devel intel-ucode efibootmgr os-prober ntfs-3g dosfstools mtools sbsigntools sbctl efitools fish micro git

Create Fstab

genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
cat /mnt/etc/fstab

Create Users

arch-chroot /mnt
passwd
useradd -m $USER -G wheel -s /bin/fish
passwd $USER

Sudo Config

  • Edit /etc/sudoers and discomment
%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Configure Language

  • In /etc/locale.gen discomment en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 and es_CL.UTF-8 UTF-8

Configure locale

locale-gen
echo LANG=es_CL.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf

Hostname

  • In /etc/hostname write your $HOSTNAME

Hosts

In /etc/hosts add your $HOSTNAME

127.0.0.1      $HOSTNAME.localhost $HOSTNAME

Bootloader

NOTE: Remember only mount bootloader follow by BIOS configuration, and read Grub Documentation

Bootloader Legacy BIOS

grub-install /dev/sdx // (nvmexnxpx)

Bootloader UEFI

Note: See Grub#Shrim-Lock Wiki

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/ --bootloader-id=GRUB --modules="tpm" --disable-shim-lock --removable --recheck

Update Grub

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Create keys with sbctl

enroll-keys dont work because Acer Bios is weird, i still dont know how to make work right, but its worth it

sudo sbctl status
sudo sbctl create-keys
sudo sbctl enroll-keys -m

Signing

Note: Can be automaticed with sbctl verify | sed 's/✗ /sbctl sign -s /e'

sudo sbctl verify
sudo sbctl sign -s /boot/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
sudo sbctl sign -s /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/grub.efi
sudo sbctl sign -s /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/core.efi
sudo sbctl sign -s /boot/vmlinuz-linux
sudo sbctl status

Umount Partitions Note: Before reboot, disconnect Any USB Device, some bios get ultra slow down in init for some reason

exit
umount -R /mnt
reboot

First Startup

Quick Note: Congrats!!, now with the fun part, customization.

Make Internet Works

Note: Next you need to connect to wifi with nmtui, ethernet just work

sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager.service bluetooth.service --now

Spanish Mode

localectl set-x11-keymap latam
localectl set-locale LANG=es_CL.UTF-8

Configure Local Time Zone

see System Time in Archwiki for more info

timedatectl list-timezones
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/"Zone"/"Sub-Zone" /etc/localtime
timedatectl set-timezone "Zone"/"Sub-Zone"
timedatectl set-ntp true
sudo hwclock --systohc --utc
timedatectl status

!!! IGNORE THIS !!! Propietary NVIDIA (I dont use it anymore) !!! IGNORE THIS !!!
  • Now i am using Nouveau because have a good compatibility with my card, work right
  • READ THE WIKI AND FORUM AFTER INSTALL ANYTHING
  • LIBVDPAU IS BROKEN; DON'T INSTALL IT

Install Nvidia Package

Install Nvidia Acceleration Layer

NOTE: Follow ElFarto nvidia-vaapi-driver config

sudo pacman -S libva-mesa-driver lib32-libva-mesa-driver mesa-vdpau lib32-mesa-vdpau nvtop meson ffnvcodec-headers

In /etc/default/grub at the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" add

NOTE: i dont know if nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 works fine

nvidia_drm.modeset=1

In /etc/mkinitcpio.conf at the MODULES section add

NOTE: Also remove kms from HOOKS

NOTE2: This also dont work good

NOTE3: Without nvidia_modeset seem to work good

nvidia nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm

In /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf add
