# 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 and systemd-boot, secure in the way that it uses full-disk encryption using LUKS as well as flexibility by using LVM volumes for the root and home partition.
|
|
|
|
##### [Click here to go to the manual installation..](https://gitlab.com/dataprolet/simple-modern-and-secure-arch-linux-install/-/blob/master/install.md).
|

|
|
## To automatically install Arch Linux, clone this repository:
|
|
```
|
|
pacman -Sy git
|
|
git clone https://gitlab.com/dataprolet/arch
|
|
cd arch
|
|
sh install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### *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.
|
|
|
|
## All features:
|
|
- Prompt for all user input at the start (hostname, username passwords).
|
|
- Partitions a primary and a boot partition.
|
|
- Encrypts the primary partition using LUKS.
|
|
- Creates Btrfs filesystems with zstd compression.
|
|
- Creates Btrfs volumes for /root and /home with custom sizes.
|
|
- Refreshes the latest mirror list.
|
|
- Installs a base system (base linux linux-firmware lvm2 nano networkmanager sudo).
|
|
- Installs very few additional packages (firefox konsole linux-zen)
|
|
- Installs a minimal KDE Plasma desktop environment (plasma-desktop, sddm, sdmd-kcm)
|
|
- Installs systemd-boot as a bootloader.
|
|
- Sets German keyboard layout and English locale.
|
|
- Enables SDDM auto-login to boot into Plasma after the first reboot.
