Welcome to the “Arch Linux Install Guide – The easy way!”. In this guide I will show you how to:
- install the basic Arch Linux system,
- install your favorite Desktop Environment (GNOME,KDE,Xfce,Cinnamon,etc)
- install a bunch of necessary Applications/Programs
So, since you here, it means that you have already made up your mind and you are ready to live an ultimate Linux experience! By choosing Arch Linux you’ll get a distribution that is all about you! Assemble the system you always wanted on a lightening fast Arch base and enjoy a vast collection of current software!
This is a simple Arch Linux Install Guide. It consists of three basic steps, which basically strip down the guide into the installation of:
- The Base System
- The Desktop Environment
- Applications
The actual installation process isn’t that different from other distributions. You’ll recognize the steps involved, but you get a few more choices and opportunities to customize! When you’re done, you might have picked up some new skills and confidence along the way. And do NOT get deceived: Arch Linux is indeed simple! Most Linux distributions that claim to be simple, like Ubuntu or Mandriva, are merely simple to use for new Linux users, but Arch is a minimal, streamlined, and elegantly simple distro. Anyway, enough talking…
