# Arch with Gnome
## Installation
Follow most of the instructions here:
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide>
1. Download Arch
2. Verify the image
3. Create a bootable ISO
4. Disable secureboot (reenable later)
5. Boot into the live image
6. Check for network connectivity
```bash
# Check for internet
ip a
ping archlinux.org
```
7. `timedatectl` to update system clock
8. Create disk partitions
```bash
fdisk -l
fdisk /dev/vda
```
- +1G for /boot
- t EFI SYSTEM for /boot
- remaining for /
9. `mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/vda1` (/mnt/boot partition)
10. `cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/vda2`
11. `cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/vda2 root`
12. `mkfs.btrfs /dev/mapper/root` (root partition)
13. Mount the root partition with `mount /mnt`
14. Mount the boot partition with `mount --mkdir /mnt/boot`
15. `pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware`
Note: linux-zen works, linux-hardened breaks appimages
16. `genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab`
17. `arch-chroot /mnt`
18. `ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime`
19. `hwclock --systohc`
20. `echo 'LANG=en_US.UTF-8' > /etc/locale.conf`
21. `echo 'hostname' > /etc/hostname`
22. `pacman -S grub`
23. `grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB` (this will fail)
24. Note: for some systems you'll have to move grubx64.efi into an expected location:
```bash
cp /boot/EFI/grub/grubx64.efi /boot/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
```
25. `pacman -S vim`
26. Edit /etc/default/grub
```conf
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="quiet splash rd.luks.uuid=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"
GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y
```
27. Edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and set up systemd/sd-encrypt
```conf
HOOKS=(systemd autodetect modconf kms keyboard sd-vconsole block sd-encrypt filesystems fsck)
```
28. `mkinitcpio -P`
29. `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`
30. `pacman -S gdm gnome dhclient dhcpcd`
31. `sudo systemctl enable gdm`
32. `useradd ducoterra`
33. `passwd ducoterra`
34. `pacman -S sudo`
35. `groupadd sudo`
36. Edit /etc/sudoers and uncomment the section allowing sudo and wheel group privilege
37. `usermod -aG sudo ducoterra`
38. `usermod -aG wheel ducoterra`
39. `mkdir /home/ducoterra`
40. `chown ducoterra:ducoterra /home/ducoterra`
41. `exit`
42. `umount /mnt/boot`
43. `umount /mnt`
44. `reboot`
## Post Install
1. `vim /etc/locale.gen`
Uncomment the line:
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
And run `sudo locale-gen`
2. `pacman -S tpm2-tss`
3. `systemd-cryptenroll /dev/vda2 --wipe-slot=tpm2 --tpm2-device=auto --tpm2-pcrs=""`
4. Change /etc/default/grub to save previous selection
```conf
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
```
5. sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
6. Enable fingerprint terminal login but prompt for password first (enter switches to prompt for fingerprint)
sudo vim /etc/pam.d/system-auth and at the top of the file:
```conf
# fingerprint auth
auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok
auth sufficient pam_fprintd.so
```
7. `sudo pacman -S bluez bluez-utils`
8. `sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth`
9. `sudo pacman -S pipewire-pulse` (remove conflicting packages)
## Kernel Updates
1. pacman -S linux linux-headers
2. `grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB --modules="tpm" --disable-shim-lock`
3. `cp /boot/EFI/GRUB/grubx64.efi /boot/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi`
