I use arch, btw

"...we {do these} things not because they are easy, but because they are hard,"

  "because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills,"

🛠️ Installation

1. Get the installation image

🚀 Custom ISO (recommended)

Build a custom ISO with all repo and AUR packages pre-cached for a nearly offline install. Requires archiso:

sudo ~/.local/bin/build-iso --clean

Write to USB:

sudo build-iso --usb /dev/sdX

Rebuild the ISO periodically to pick up package updates.

📦 Stock Arch ISO

Download the official image: archlinux-version-x86_64.iso

Write to USB using dd — use the disk (e.g. /dev/sdx), not a partition:

lsblk -f
dd bs=4M if=path/to/archlinux-version-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdx conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress

2. Boot USB and install

Custom ISO — dotfiles and packages are already on disk:

dotfiles

Stock Arch ISO — downloads dotfiles and packages from the network:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cogikyo/dotfiles/master/install.sh)

1. Set partition configuration via the archinstall UI
2. Set authentication and user via the archinstall UI
3. Reboot into the new system

3. Post Install

Dotfiles are copied (custom ISO) or cloned (stock ISO) automatically during arch install. After reboot:

~/dotfiles/install.sh all

With the custom ISO, packages resolve from the local cache — no downloads or AUR rebuilds needed. The local cache is cleaned up automatically after the packages step.
