Chris Titus made an Automated Arch Install

Lounge EndeavourOS pub

It’s BTRFS and no swap it seems:

# disk prep
sgdisk -Z ${DISK} # zap all on disk
#dd if=/dev/zero of=${DISK} bs=1M count=200 conv=fdatasync status=progress
sgdisk -a 2048 -o ${DISK} # new gpt disk 2048 alignment

# create partitions
sgdisk -n 1:0:+1000M ${DISK} # partition 1 (UEFI SYS), default start block, 512MB
sgdisk -n 2:0:0     ${DISK} # partition 2 (Root), default start, remaining

# set partition types
sgdisk -t 1:ef00 ${DISK}
sgdisk -t 2:8300 ${DISK}

# label partitions
sgdisk -c 1:"UEFISYS" ${DISK}
sgdisk -c 2:"ROOT" ${DISK}

# make filesystems
echo -e "\nCreating Filesystems...\n$HR"
if [[ ${DISK} =~ "nvme" ]]; then
mkfs.vfat -F32 -n "UEFISYS" "${DISK}p1"
mkfs.btrfs -L "ROOT" "${DISK}p2" -f
mount -t btrfs "${DISK}p2" /mnt
else
mkfs.vfat -F32 -n "UEFISYS" "${DISK}1"
mkfs.btrfs -L "ROOT" "${DISK}2" -f
mount -t btrfs "${DISK}2" /mnt
fi
ls /mnt | xargs btrfs subvolume delete
btrfs subvolume create /mnt/@
umount /mnt
;;
esac

# mount target
mount -t btrfs -o subvol=@ -L ROOT /mnt
mkdir /mnt/boot
mkdir /mnt/boot/efi
mount -t vfat -L UEFISYS /mnt/boot/

sry for whistleblowing this :sunglasses:
He could simple have asked to add a Community Edition to EndeavourOS ISO:

Post not really necessary since there are Item in the AUR that you have to build and can’t just install, but you can get a snap, flatpak, or appimage of the program.

I like Endeavouros, but have you tried the latest Archcraft? It is supposedly minimal (whatever that means), but it is very, very good.

27

No but i am going to try Chris Titus installer script because it’s KDE. :star_struck:

I like to suggest ZEN Installer also and may be there are stated more on the Arch forum. But I think they will let you stay alone when you ask for more support than the installer provides. As we know the Arch forum there is also no space where your questions are welcome when you left the Arch way of installation.

So this is the place where Distributions like EndeavourOS, Manjaro etc. step in and I am very thankful for that.

26 posts were split to a new topic: Pointless bickering about the “Arch Way”

Of the graphical Arch installers, so far I only knew the Zen installer. Of course, the best Arch installer is the EndeavourOS installer. :slight_smile: I know it’s not pure Arch, but it’s still the best for me, and I guess I’m not alone with it. :slight_smile:

Arch installers are all the rage right now. Keep an eye on a new one to come:

Hello, I am making a new Arch linux installer.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=270686

:face_with_monocle:

What the “Arch Way” is or isn’t is a purely philosophical debate and not really important to this topic. I have cleaned up all the related posts that were in this topic.

Please get back on topic.

Yea, I am finding the Arch forums can be a bit harsh. Fortunately, I’ve not needed them. I’ve actually started lurking the new users forum over there to see if I can be helpful.

Archway does make some pretty decent cookies though… :wink:

So, it appears that Chris Titus has joined the ranks of Arch installer writers. Welcome to the club. Looks about to be a little different from my 2 years old project, and the hundreds of other Arch install script projects dating back 10 years or more. Maybe Titus’s popularity will push this project into the view of Arch Linux forum members as noobs beg for help using yet another un0fficial installation method? :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t need one… I got EndeavourOS! :rofl:

Yeah yeah yeah, but that won’t give you Chris’ Shortcuts/Keybindings by default :wink: :rofl:

I do want to try it. When i get some time. I think I’ll install it on my HP laptop with Windows 11 dual boot and wipe out my current install of Cinnamon and see how that works.

55

BTW, did anybody figure out what theme he’s using? Is that Layan?

Well i installed Arch via Chris Titus automated install and low and behold no wifi which is odd. Lots of bloat but no WiFi! This laptop doesn’t have Ethernet which a lot of new laptops don’t now a days. Needless to say this doesn’t sit well. Nothing wrong with the KDE install other than there is a lot of stuff i wouldn’t myself use. It also never came up and asked what desktop i wanted to install according to what the video showed. Other then that it’s much better than a lot of other installers scripts.

No Wifi

sudo wifi-menu
