This article documents the installation process step by step

Serves only as supplementary instructions to the ArchWiki Installation Guide

Aims to provide a user/developer-friendly desktop environment

This guide will be continuously updated

Installing ArchLinux

1. Install ArchLinux on a USB key

2. Boot from the USB and begin installation: Installation guide (If using LVM, perform these additional steps during grub installation:

   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 smoothly, the installation completes. After rebooting, you’ll see the root user’s shell terminal.

4. Ensure network connectivity. For assistance, see Wireless network configuration. If tools are missing, re-enter the USB system using arch-chroot to install them.

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 the login user

3. Log out of root and log back in using the created user account.

Connecting to the Global Internet

1. Normal method: Install various services through package management (All docker environment setups 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 the kde-applications group instead of the kde-applications-meta meta-package for easier package trimming.
