Installing ArchLinux

1. Install ArchLinux on a USB key

2. Boot from USB and begin installation: Installation guide (If using lvm, perform these steps when installing grub:

   mount /dev/XzRoot/root(LVM path) /mnt
   mkdir /mnt/hostlvm
   mount --bind /run/lvm /mnt/hostlvm
   arch-chroot /mnt
   ln -s /hostlvm /run/lvm

   Code reference from ArchLinux BBS)

3. If everything goes well, installation completes. After rebooting, you’ll see the root user’s shell terminal.

4. Ensure network connectivity. Refer to Wireless network configuration. If tools are missing, re-enter USB system using arch-chroot to install.

Creating Login User Account

1. Operating as root is dangerous, so first create a login user:

   useradd -m -G wheel -s /bin/bash your_username

   (Reference wiki)

2. Install sudo and grant privileges to login user

3. Logout from root and relogin using the created user account.

Connecting to Global Internet

1. Normal method: Install various services through package manager (All docker setup below can be ignored)

2. Install V2Ray using docker (Recommended, isolated from ArchLinux environment, highly stable)

Installing Desktop Environment

Minimal KDE Installation Solution for Arch Linux

Install KDE (or choose your preferred DE), reference ArchWiki KDE

For full KDE applications suite (usually unnecessary), install kde-applications group instead of kde-applications-meta meta-package for easier package trimming.
