+# Arch Setup Scripts
+
+These are heavily build upon [Lukes Auto-Rice Bootstrapping Scripts](https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/LARBS).
+I prefer to have them fully CLI and minimal.
+
+
+For this to actually work, the dotfiles need to contain all the nessecary stuff to start dwm, and a few other things.
+
+
+
+### Minimal Arch Install Guide
+
+Super barebones install, just ot get stuff running fast, mostly summary of [the wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide). For encryption see [here](https://git.bocken.org/Alexander/mykb/src/branch/master/docs/luks2.md). For other fancy stuff see the Arch Wiki.
+
+1. Boot from Arch ISO
+2. Connect to the internet
+    - `iwctl`
+    - `device list`
+        - Assume device name is `wlan0`
+    - If device or adapter is off
+        - `device name set-property Powered on`
+        - `adapter adapter set-property Powered on`
+    - `station wlan0 scan`
+    - `station wlan0 get-networks`
+    - `station wlan0 connect YOUR_SSID`
+
+2. Update the system clock
+    - `timedatectl`
+
+3. Partition the disks (lets assume `/dev/nvme0n1`)
+    - `fdisk /dev/nvme0n1`
+    - Create a new GPT partition table: `g`
+    - Create new partitions:
+        - EFI System Partition (ESP): `n`, `+1G`
+        - SWAP Partition: `n`, `+16G` (or whatever you want)
+        - Root Partition: `n`, `+100G` (or whatever you want)
+        - Home Partition: `n`, (rest of the space)
+        - Write changes: `w`
+    - Verify partitions: `lsblk`
+    - Format the partitions:
+        - `mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/nvme0n1p1` (ESP)
+        - `mkswap /dev/nvme0n1p2` (SWAP)
+        - `mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p3` (Root)
+        - `mkfs.ext4 /dev/nvme0n1p4` (Home)
+
+4. Mount the file systems
+    - `mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt` (Mount root)
+    - `mount --mkdir /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot` (Mount ESP)
+    - `mount --mkdir /dev/nvme0n1p4 /mnt/home` (Mount home)
+    - `swapon /dev/nvme0n1p2` (Enable SWAP)
+    - Verify mounts: `lsblk`
+
+5. Install essential packages
+    - `pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware base-devel vim networkmanager efibootmgr grub`
+    - You can add other packages you want here, like `git`, `curl`, etc.
+
+6. Generate fstab (file system table)
+    - `genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab`
+    - Verify fstab: `cat /mnt/etc/fstab`
+
+7. Chroot into the new System
+    - `arch-chroot /mnt`
+
+8. Localization
+    - `ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Region/City /etc/localtime`
+    - `hwclock --systohc`
+    - Edit `/etc/locale.gen` and uncomment your locale, e.g., `en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8`
+    - `locale-gen`
+    - `echo "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" > /etc/locale.conf`
+    - Edit Hostname: `echo "myhostname" > /etc/hostname`
+
+9. Initramfs
+    - `mkinitcpio -P`
+
+10. Set root password
+    - `passwd`
+
+11. Bootloader
+    - `grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB`
+    - `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`
+
+12. Enable essential services
+    - `systemctl enable NetworkManager`
+
+13. Exit chroot and unmount
+    - `exit`
+    - `umount -R /mnt`
+    - `swapoff -a`
