I haven’t used Linux as a desktop since back in the 2.0/2.1 kernel days, when you were praying the next kernel release would add support for the bits and pieces that made up your kit.
After 2 months of Ubuntu, I decided to dive into Arch and Endeavour has made it made it easy so far!
Install Arch
Set it up the way you like as an installed baseline system
Boot to your Arch system
Install Arch on a usb drive
Mount the rootfs of the usb to /mnt
dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/arch.iso
>(replace /dev/sda with the drive of your current Arch system)
7. umount /mnt
To install your setup, boot to the usb, and type:
dd if=/arch.iso of=/dev/sda
>(replace sda with the drive you want to install Arch on)
