# Simple, modern and secure installation of Arch Linux with KDE Plasma.

### This is my personal installation routine, which I continously expand and redefine.
|
||||
|
||||
This installation script aims for a simple (read minimal) Arch Linux installation, which is modern in the way that it uses UEFI, systemd-boot and Wayland, secure in the way that it uses full-disk encryption using LUKS as well as flexibility by using Btrfs subvolumes for the root and home partition.

### To switch from X11 to Wayland on an existing installation use the following command and reboot:
|

```
|

# pacman -S wayland xorg-xwayland && sed -i 's/plasma/plasmawayland/g' /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf

### *There are [alternative versions](alt) of the script:*
|
||||
- `install-minimal.sh`- Installs only the necessary packages for Plasma.
|
||||
### *There are now two additional versions of the script:*
|
||||
- `install-lvm.sh` - Installs using Ext4 and uses LVM for /root and /home.
|
||||
- `install-grub.sh` - Installs using GRUB for legacy BIOS (and Btrfs).
|
||||
- `ìnstall-x11.sh`- Installs using X11 (and systemd-boot/Btrfs).
