For anyone having struggles with plasma-wayland-session, the package got removed. It is now a part pf plasma-workspace. You can replace plasma-wayland-session with plasma-workspace.
I don't usually leave comments on TH-cam, but because of how you guided me through the installation process of this hellish, yet rewarding challenge, you can confidently call yourself the technological GOAT of TH-cam. Amazing job, thank you for such a great video. I'm just starting my Linux and programming journey, but seeing the community around this operating system, I realize that after 10 years of torture in advertising, I've found my place and the desire to change careers is the best thing I could have done. Thanks again and good luck!
I have used arch for last 7 years on many.......many machines... That includes dual booting with Linux s and windows Evrytime it's a different experience... Different problems and different googlin tactics. All I want to say you have done a stunning job on this video and attention details is impeccable ( font size in first prompt, windows not showing in grub, connecting to net iwctl and nm etc). Well done, keep it up and thanks a lot.
If none has mentioned yet, you dont necessarily need the swap partition unless your using an older device or one with scarce RAM, you can still use it if you have a decent amount but it is neither going to hinder the performance nor is it likely going to increase performance.
This is literally the nicest tutorial I've used by far for linux installations, I used to use Ubuntu for my CS degree and I decided to use Arch randomly cuz I accidentally upgraded to an unstable version of Ubuntu 24.10 cuz I thought i was upgrading to 24.04 lol but this helped soooo much like saved so much time can't lie and the one issue I had was the top comment which was just about wayland which is just cuz they moved the dependency to a different name. Props to the creator
Fyi, while using */boot* as esp works, when doing efi, */boot/efi* should be the boot partition location. This is easily accomplished by mounting only your root partition, installing the base system, then create an "efi" folder in /boot of the newly installed system. After, mount the boot partition, swap, etc. The next step is also genfstab, so it fits perfectly. Once you reach the grub-install command, simply point esp to your /boot/efi path. Again, using /boot works, but for correctness, that is the proper way to do it with grub and also how many other distros do as well (Debian, for example). GREAT video and truly appreciate you installing the official Arch way, I've used Arch for 16 years now and felt like it your guide was done properly, straight from the wiki. 🐧
How do you access the boot/efi if it is on another disk. All dual boot videos are using the same drive. I wish there a video with two drives. 1 windows and 1 linux
@@UniceSmith-yt Then lets say */dev/sda1* (first drive) is where you want your efi and */dev/sdb1* (second drive) is where you want the rest of your system. The only difference here would be mounting */dev/sda1* to */boot/efi* folder on */dev/sdb1* and then pointing your grub-install path the same exact way to */boot/efi* - It's that simple. If you are installing Linux on it's own drive, then you would just do a normal install as I my initial comment said. Multiple EFI boot partitions on one machine is common with dual-boot and makes it easy to chain load via grub or bios boot menu.
@@UniceSmith-yt Also, as shown in the video here, you can easily setup os-prober to have grub detect other OS like Windows. It doesn't matter if Linux is installed on the same drive or not. Once done, use your bios to point to the Linux boot and from there you can choose Windows or Linux.
@@terminalvelocity4858 Great information, thank you. I remember trying that with no success. I finally used endeavour OS installer because I could not do it with Arch and os-prober and grub. Endeavour OS used systemd-boot instead of grub. I figured that was the only to do it.
@terminalvelocity4858 @kskroyaltech In most of the uefi arch installation tutorials I have seen, most of them mount the efi partition to /boot/EFI (All uppercase efi). Is there any difference between both of these methods? I just can't understand and I am just too lazy to search a proper answer from the web.
When grub-mkconfig is not detecting the Win11, then: 1. Install os-prober `sudo pacman -S os-prober` 2. Set the grub.cfg as in the video by uncommenting the disable os-prober 3. Do `sudo mkdir /mnt/win11` 4. Mount EFI part with `sudo mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/win11` 5. Then run the grub-mkconfig
Thank you, thank you so much. I had the problem of installing this for 1 month. It's 4:53 am and I'm working on this for 5h. Finally it's installed and worked. Thank you sir
If you are having trouble adding windows bootloader as a grub option (os-prober not discovering it), it worked for me only after mounting the windows bootloader, i.e., lsblk to identify the windows bootloader partition and then sudo mkdir /mnt/win11 sudo mount /dev/ /mnt/win11 and running grub-mkconfig again
It is a nice tutorial. But I'm a little bit fearful of following it completely, because most of the time it just says "do this and do that", without really explaining why exactly we are doing it, we need something, what could go wrong. If something slightly changes or something does not work we have no ground to adapt, because this is a tutorial only gives this one linear explanation.
Very nice tutorial but I have a problem. After leaving the USB drive I do not boot into Grub, but rather Windows 11. I can't prioritize Grub or the hardrive with Grub in the BIOS. I do in fact have the option to boot into Grub, but this only boot Windows 11. What am I doing wrong?
Awesome tutorial. This has genuinely given me a better of stuff I previously didn't know regarding how dual boots even work in the first place and setting up other stuff, etc. Thank you so much for the amazing guidance. (took me four hours since i was documenting everything myself haha)
Thank you for this tutorial. I was unaware that you could create an EFI partition for Arch separate from the Windows EFI partition. I thought they had to share the space so this makes it a lot easier!
hey I loved your video! the first time I installed arch linux i just go straight with archinstall and never bother with this kind of setup. now after a few months of using arch i got a new laptop, ill followed all the steps here and boom i got my new arch setup. Thank you so much for this quality video!

Hi, for everyone like who as the error device did not show after 30 second, when you use rufus when it ask for use ISO or dd, use dd. With iISO i haved this problem and some people haved my propblem too, just select dd on rufus
if your efi partition size is small (100 or 150 mb), mounting EFI in /mnt/efi (/mnt/boot/efi is depreceated) will help instead of mounting in /boot, since grub will also be installed in the boot directory
I got into a rabbit hole about why you should not disable "Secure Boot" on the BIOS settings, now I don't know if I should or should not do it. What is your opinion on the topic?
ERROR: device mounted successfully, but /sbin/init does not exist. Also sh:cant acces tty; job control turned off.... Its not going into archlinux. Instead the propt shows [rootfs ~] I tried mounting et4 again but its saying fstab does not exist
Have you fixed the issue? If not, it may be the usb you are using. Try switching out the usb with a different one for the installation. I've run into that situation before.
22:00 Anyone have a fix for running “sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg” and grub NOT finding windows efi manager ? I’ve followed the previous step of downloading os-prober and uncommenting the last line in config. I’ve also tried changing storage from Raid On to a Linux compatible option. No joy.

Thank you for the manual. I have a question - if i want to increase the arch os memory size by releasing from windows after linux installation done, is it possible?
so use AZERTY keyboard. I manage to change it during the installation, but now that Arch is installed it doesn't want to update. I'll tinker with that, but overall great guide, very easy to follow, thank you !
hey! I have a problem. when trying to connect to wifi, after typing 'iwctl' and 'device list', the printed list is empty. "wlan0" is missing and therefore I can't run the later commands. I don't know if this matters, but my computer is an ASUS vivobook S 16 flip. does anyone have the same problem or know what to do? I'd really appreciate any help.
Is there anything we should know about the sizes? What if we need more space for the Linux side of things? Do we just uninstall stuff from the Microsoft side, and install stuff on the Linux side?
If you are dual booting linux alongside windows 11 on the same drive, Its recommended to shrink more free space . I personally use 200GB for Linux. Also you can install Arch Linux on the dedicated drive.
My USB drive does not seem to support UEFI compatibility, so I had to turn on CSM to get it to work initially, but I got stuck at the part where Grub is meant to be installed. When I run the command, it tells me "EFI is not supported on this device." What can I do instead of buying a new USB?
@@kskroyaltech I’d have to check if there’s a specific option to turn on UEFI. I use an ASRock motherboard and I assumed that having CSM turned off would mean it would automatically use UEFI. The problem is that when I can only see my USB boot as an option when I turn CSM on.
Do one thing, boot into UEFI boot menu, can you tell me if you can boot into Windows 11 from there ??? Also, Did u create a system restore point ? If so, using bootable Windows 11 USB you can restore that backup to fix the issue.
@@kskroyaltech i fixed it, it was my system's fault when it just didn't created EFI partition for Windows, i created it by myself and now everything work properly (and you also didn't showed in your video that you need to mount this EFI partition as /boot/windows)
Hey! Thank you for the tutorial, really helpful could you please help me? I have issues with GUI, using intel i5 13500hx and RTX 4060 sometimes I get artifacts using google chrome (installed using yay aur) also with vscode and neovim I have them sometimes when I open KDE Software Center, PC just crash, and I do force restart for my PC using flameshot I have issue like, when I run it, it scales my window, and everything becomes small, actually fixable with setting 100% display resolution, but in that case, in normal mode everything is small :D I think problem is inside KDE, maybe I should use gnome, or smth else better?
@@talhax68 I reinstalled 5 times arch (1 time with archinstall), installed latest Nvidia and intel drivers bot had same issues, tried last time fedora 40 with kde, again same... so I just went back to to my macos edit: with gnome, same troubles, but tested only on arch
Make sure network manager is running in the background. Do this: *sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager* *sudo systemctl start NetworkManager* then run the below command to check the status of the network manager *sudo systemctl status NetworkManager* you can press Q to quit the status.. then run NMCLI command.
Once i create the partitions on the free space and then lsblk back i dont see the new partitions i only see the general nvme0n1p4 166G space even though i can check it and see that the partitions inside are created they are not listed therefore i cannot select and format each of them?

@kskroyaltech I installed it and added Hyperland but due to some bugs and a lot of uninstalled packages and conflicts I thought it would be better for me to stay on Linux Mint until I get used to Linux. But for no good reason I decided to write command: sudo rm-rf --no-preserve-root I thought it would only remove the Linux root but it also removed Windows 10 Pro.
Probably I'll delete arch partitions, so I'd like to know if is possible to re-enable Windows 11 Secure Boot from Bios, which I previously disabled in order to install arch (I didn't erase any security key from Bios). Thank you

Im having a weird problem with dual booting on my laptop: the first time I boot to Linux Bluetooth doesn’t work, it says there aren’t any adapters available, but then I restart and the second boot it works without any problems. But the third time it’s the same as the first and the fourth is the same as the second. I tried with arch and endeavorOS and I had the same problem. Also the same session where Bluetooth doesn’t work, when I restart or shutdown, it gets stuck on the shutting down process until I force the pc to shutdown with the power button, but in the sessions where Bluetooth works it shuts down without problems
Run these commands one by one, you can easily add Bluetooth support to your Arch Linux system. sudo pacman -S bluez blueman bluez-utils sudo modprobe btusb sudo systemctl enable bluetooth && sudo systemctl start bluetooth
@@kskroyaltech I had already added bluetooth support support to arch, but it's just that the first time I boot it says that there aren't adapters available, but the second time I start the system it works fine, and it goes on like that. It happened the same with endeavorOS. along with rebooting staying on the text mode forever whenever bluetooth doesn't work. When I installed Manjaro it actually worked fine, bluetooth starts every single time and rebooting never hangs on the text mode. One thing to note is that both Arch and endeavorOS came with kde 6 while Manjaro came with kde 5, not sure if it is that or perhaps something to do with the kernel?
I have tried to dual boot into Ubuntu 22.04 previously, and it didn't go well due to inbuilt windows 11 bitlocker. On changing the secure boot to disable and installing Ubuntu, the flash didn't work, saying you have to disable bitlocker. But my windows 11 version doesn't support bitlocker to be disabled. Just wanted to confirm whether there would be any such problems with Arch installation as well...
You need to disable Bitlocker and Secure Boot for Arch Linux to install properly. Make sure your Windows version supports disabling Bitlocker. See the other easy method to install Arch Linux : th-cam.com/video/mWl4P6DOt9M/w-d-xo.html

After shutting down and rebooting after installing grub I just boot into windows. No errors during any install and I have retried this 3 times now. When I press f10 on startup it only shows windows boot manager as well.
I think the grub boot manager is not installed properly. You can still fix this issue, by connecting the bootable USB, mount root partition that was created, and chroot into root. Then install the grub boot loader again... grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
When writing grub install, add flag --removable, it worked for me! Had been struggling too. Then check discreetly your uefi for boot options (in My case on msi there was a different option where you choose not drives, but boot options, and there it happened to be after --removable flag)
I want to install it on F-drive, but I lost my hard drive two times (I have backup on github) , not going to try it again, I think I should install it on a complete new system.
For anyone having struggles with plasma-wayland-session, the package got removed. It is now a part pf plasma-workspace. You can replace plasma-wayland-session with plasma-workspace.
Thanks mate
But plasma wayland sesión is hyprland?
Ty!
love you

If your os-prober is unable to detect Windows Boot Manager, try to install fuse3. Apparently os-prober is dependent on fuse3 to work properly.

Thank you for the manual. I have a question - if i want to increase the arch os memory size by releasing from windows after linux installation done, is it possible?
Are you noob 😂
Bro you are running Arch Linux directly on top of hardware (BARE METAL). Entire hardware resources will be used By Arch.
@@kskroyaltechhe means storage size not memory he’s asking if you can delete windows and increase arch partition size after
@@anshumaankhare6770 Stay hungry, stay foolish.
its nice for you to also teach on how to revert back from its original setup (without the arch linux).
Yes it's important to add that part.
so use AZERTY keyboard. I manage to change it during the installation, but now that Arch is installed it doesn't want to update. I'll tinker with that, but overall great guide, very easy to follow, thank you !
Thank you so much.
hey! I have a problem. when trying to connect to wifi, after typing 'iwctl' and 'device list', the printed list is empty. "wlan0" is missing and therefore I can't run the later commands. I don't know if this matters, but my computer is an ASUS vivobook S 16 flip. does anyone have the same problem or know what to do? I'd really appreciate any help.
Thanks for response!
Amazing 🎉🎉🎉 thank you so much
Is there anything we should know about the sizes? What if we need more space for the Linux side of things? Do we just uninstall stuff from the Microsoft side, and install stuff on the Linux side?
If you are dual booting linux alongside windows 11 on the same drive, Its recommended to shrink more free space . I personally use 200GB for Linux.
Also you can install Arch Linux on the dedicated drive.
This is the best tutorial ive ever seen
Thank you so much .
you're a saviour, thankyou for this god bless you
Thank you for this awesome tutorial!!! Now I have arch for the first time (btw)
from where you get high quality wallpapers ?
Bro I mostly google them. Sometimes for Linux I use this repo:

I have bitlocker enabled....
So Can I enable secure boot again or should I disable bitlocker??
Disable bitlocker
Not a big deal
yes you can enable again
after installing arch

My USB drive does not seem to support UEFI compatibility, so I had to turn on CSM to get it to work initially, but I got stuck at the part where Grub is meant to be installed. When I run the command, it tells me "EFI is not supported on this device." What can I do instead of buying a new USB?
Does your system has an option to turn on UEFI ?
@@kskroyaltech I’d have to check if there’s a specific option to turn on UEFI. I use an ASRock motherboard and I assumed that having CSM turned off would mean it would automatically use UEFI. The problem is that when I can only see my USB boot as an option when I turn CSM on.
installed, but something went wrong and now i can't even boot in windows (it doesn't show up even in the BIOS)
Do one thing, boot into UEFI boot menu, can you tell me if you can boot into Windows 11 from there ???
Also, Did u create a system restore point ? If so, using bootable Windows 11 USB you can restore that backup to fix the issue.
@@kskroyaltech i fixed it, it was my system's fault when it just didn't created EFI partition for Windows, i created it by myself and now everything work properly (and you also didn't showed in your video that you need to mount this EFI partition as /boot/windows)
how did you create the EFI partition for windows?
Hey! Thank you for the tutorial, really helpful

Make sure network manager is running in the background.
Do this:
*sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager*
*sudo systemctl start NetworkManager*
then run the below command to check the status of the network manager
*sudo systemctl status NetworkManager*
you can press Q to quit the status..
then run NMCLI command.
Once i create the partitions on the free space and then lsblk back i dont see the new partitions i only see the general nvme0n1p4 166G space even though i can check it and see that the partitions inside are created they are not listed therefore i cannot select and format each of them?

@kskroyaltech I installed it and added Hyperland but due to some bugs and a lot of uninstalled packages and conflicts I thought it would be better for me to stay on Linux Mint until I get used to Linux.

Probably I'll delete arch partitions, so I'd like to know if is possible to re-enable Windows 11 Secure Boot from Bios, which I previously disabled in order to install arch (I didn't erase any security key from Bios). Thank you

Im having a weird problem with dual booting on my laptop:
the first time I boot to Linux Bluetooth doesn’t work, it says there aren’t any adapters available, but then I restart and the second boot it works without any problems. But the third time it’s the same as the first and the fourth is the same as the second. I tried with arch and endeavorOS and I had the same problem.
Also the same session where Bluetooth doesn’t work, when I restart or shutdown, it gets stuck on the shutting down process until I force the pc to shutdown with the power button, but in the sessions where Bluetooth works it shuts down without problems
Run these commands one by one, you can easily add Bluetooth support to your Arch Linux system.
sudo pacman -S bluez blueman bluez-utils
sudo modprobe btusb
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth && sudo systemctl start bluetooth
@@kskroyaltech I had already added bluetooth support support to arch, but it's just that the first time I boot it says that there aren't adapters available, but the second time I start the system it works fine, and it goes on like that.
It happened the same with endeavorOS. along with rebooting staying on the text mode forever whenever bluetooth doesn't work.
When I installed Manjaro it actually worked fine, bluetooth starts every single time and rebooting never hangs on the text mode. One thing to note is that both Arch and endeavorOS came with kde 6 while Manjaro came with kde 5, not sure if it is that or perhaps something to do with the kernel?
Thannnnkkkssss 🎉 ❤
great video highly recommended
Glad you enjoyed it
I have tried to dual boot into Ubuntu 22.04 previously, and it didn't go well due to inbuilt windows 11 bitlocker. On changing the secure boot to disable and installing Ubuntu, the flash didn't work, saying you have to disable bitlocker. But my windows 11 version doesn't support bitlocker to be disabled.
Just wanted to confirm whether there would be any such problems with Arch installation as well...
You need to disable Bitlocker and Secure Boot for Arch Linux to install properly. Make sure your Windows version supports disabling Bitlocker. See the other easy method to install Arch Linux : th-cam.com/video/mWl4P6DOt9M/w-d-xo.html
@kskroyaltech Yes, thanks it worked
Great 9/10 - I had a problem multiple times because of having an Nvidia card, so I got stuck and had to go elsewhere, far before you installed the utils at the end. That would have been helpful

After shutting down and rebooting after installing grub I just boot into windows. No errors during any install and I have retried this 3 times now. When I press f10 on startup it only shows windows boot manager as well.
I think the grub boot manager is not installed properly. You can still fix this issue, by connecting the bootable USB, mount root partition that was created, and chroot into root. Then install the grub boot loader again...
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
When writing grub install, add flag --removable, it worked for me! Had been struggling too. Then check discreetly your uefi for boot options (in My case on msi there was a different option where you choose not drives, but boot options, and there it happened to be after --removable flag)
