I haven’t used Linux as a desktop since back in the 2.0/2.1 kernel days, when you were praying the next kernel release would add support for the bits and pieces that made up your kit.

After 2 months of Ubuntu, I decided to dive into Arch and Endeavour has made it made it easy so far!

    1. Install Arch

    2. Set it up the way you like as an installed baseline system

    3. Boot to your Arch system

    4. Install Arch on a usb drive

    5. Mount the rootfs of the usb to /mnt

    6. dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/arch.iso

    (replace /dev/sda with the drive of your current Arch system)

    1. umount /mnt

    To install your setup, boot to the usb, and type:

    dd if=/arch.iso of=/dev/sda

    (replace sda with the drive you want to install Arch on)
