This README contains the steps I do to install and configure a fully-functional Arch Linux installation containing a desktop environment, all the support packages (network, bluetooth, audio, printers, etc.), along with all my preferred applications and utilities. The shell scripts in this repo allow the entire process to be automated.)
Download ArchISO from https://archlinux.org/download/ and put on a USB drive with Etcher, Ventoy, or Rufus
If you don't want to build using this script I did create an image @ https://www.christitus.com/arch-titus
From initial Prompt type the following commands:
pacman -Sy git
git clone https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/ArchTitus
cd ArchTitus
./archtitus.sh
This is completely automated arch install of the KDE desktop environment on arch using all the packages I use on a daily basis.
You can check if the WiFi is blocked by running rfkill list.
If it says Soft blocked: yes, then run rfkill unblock wifi
After unblocking the WiFi, you can connect to it. Go through these 5 steps:
#1: Run iwctl
#2: Run device list, and find your device name.
#3: Run station [device name] scan
#4: Run station [device name] get-networks
#5: Find your network, and run station [device name] connect [network name], enter your password and run exit. You can test if you have internet connection by running ping google.com, and then Press Ctrl and C to stop the ping test.
