Beautiful job! Just installed this morning and my only suggestion as an Arch "newbie" (and a relative newbie to Linux in general) is that when detecting NVIDIA cards and installing drivers, that the NVIDIA X Server Settings app (nvidia-settings) gets installed as well so that the resolution can be correctly set. Took me a while to figure this out, but I got it! Thanks for all your work!
Used this on a new AMD system with a Ryzen 9 and a 6700xt as my only OS, first time on Linux. Also followed the steps in your gaming guide. Everything works flawlessly so far, I think I'm done with windows (outside of compatibility stuff for working from home). Thanks so much man, appreciate all the hard work.

Now with this script it’s so easy to get back on the saddle. Thanks and very wonderful work on the scripting side, so clean and understandable!
Hi Sir Chris, I installed arch Titus as my daily driver and it was a new experience all together. The script was super simple. Thanks for putting this together. Great Job Sir.
I watched some of the stream, and it was really fun, but now that this is done, I feal like this is endeavor os but with a little bit of customization and some extra software. But the work on this is really incredible
There is always customization to do with any install. I just wanted to make a way for folks to automate and install the packages they want. So when you inevitably re-install it will be much quicker.
New boundaries have been set for the community! To all the folks who are passionate: Just work on scripts that make linux look, feel and work like windows and macos! Linux mass adoption will be a thing! I'm so happy because you just did this, Titus.
I really like your take on Arch Linux. Can you do something about the Username? I forgot about the thing that starting letter of the username cannot be capital and entered the name, which failed the entire installation. Can you add a comment about it on your script. It will help a lot of the new comers.
Excellent! Can't wait to give it a try. Appreciate all the effort and hard work that went into this, thank you. Not only an awesome Arch installation, but also potential for advancement by studying the script itself to understand its' functionality. And perhaps learning how to mod it. What a project! BTW you look absolutely stoked!!
Awesome! I love how your ArchMatic repo has evolved into a completely hands off install with KDE instead of AwesomeWM. I might just wipe windows and run this on my main
its 2022 and i can say your project is awesome, i tried to install arch for 7 days (i've learn a lot) but now i am trying to learn even more by reading your script.
You're a frik'n hero! I decided to "get back into Linux" when my wife's 5yo ultrabook was bogging in Win10. I began with Manjaro after a bit of studying -- I've been out of Linux for almost a decade. I wanted to do Arch, but I needed a system for some "training wheels" before getting into Arch. This helps bridge the gap. I'm thinking about buying a mini-pc just to screw around further. THANK YOU!
If your main desktop is good, you could just tinker in a VM, it's way easier than to have to switch between the laptop or the computer and your main machine
Look at this, people. Chris tried his best making Arch more accessible to the public and he succeeded well doing the first step. Still not gonna try it myself but seeing such scripts is something I wish would exist for all the major distros out there - including Arch - instead of doing yet another derivative.
Did you try this one on virtual machine ? I have a problem with vmware ... installed it an it doesn't see the OS, always reboots itself to setup menu again...
@@KeloMellow11 Sooo, I'm not the only one :D I thought that maybe I did something wrong...but, what can you do wrong when there is like two commands, and 2 options to choose, the script does it all.

Appreciate all of your work. This is one of my favorite tech tuber channels. Glad you focus on getting up and working and actually explaining what is happening. Appreciate that you stay away from fear mongering and bashing. You are an asset to the Linux community and the tech community sir.
Tried this last night on my desktop & all went well so now I triple boot into 3 different arch setups. Installing on laptop at work now lol. Nice work sir
It was such a fun time watching you make this. The final arch install is already very similar to my setup as it is now so I guess I'll be forking the project and learning how to script to make it my own Btw have you set up btrfs with snapshots in this script?
Ok. I've tested tons of scripts and supposed "easiest arch installs" and none of them are as simple as this one. My use case is a bit particular 'cause of hybrid graphics. I'll give it a shot today. Edit: ok, my t440p is really stubborn. I never disable neither tpm nor secure boot. That setup has worked with endeavor os, Manjaro, pop os and even Arch using the archgui isos. But for some reason, with this script my laptop just won't open the desktop environment.
Cool, I'm up for anything that gets people into the world of desktop Linux. Hope you continue to work on this project. I'm curious to see how it grows from here. :)
Not sure if it's just my luck but I tried dual booting this. Once installed on a separate SSD the startup would hang at hostname service. Tired to startx from a different terminal too. Odd.
Love your work. I do have a problem though. Ran the entire setup 3 times. The only difference is that the scrip never askes for the Desktop Version "1. KDE" . At the end it askes for a USER and next for a Device NAME (NO PASSWORD). Then it askes for reboot. Once I reboot it said insert Boot Drive?? Doesn't boot up.
Beautiful and very useful Chris. Thank you for doing that. With that said, I’m kinda surprised we have all these amazing developers in the open source community and nobody did created a GOOD and user friendly open source package manager for Arch. I might do so with flutter.
You said it dude! I have tried Manjaro few times, tried install vanilla Arch like three times and tried some other Arch distros for gaming, but I always let them break.
I love running base Arch, but the last few installs I just didn’t have the time and went with Manjaro instead. This is exactly what I need - no BS and I can tweak it how I like it after. Would love to know if you’ve tested this on the Framework laptop before I nuke my install though! 😅
@@LowHangingFruitForest On the Framework? Interesting. I had no issues with the Xfce one. I’ve had tons of problems with other Arch installers, though. Setting up Arch manually has been the only way I’ve gotten consistently good installs, which is why I’m excited for this.
@@KindjieNo. Vanilla arch is the best experience I’ve had. I was on Manjaro KDE. Vanilla arch is smooth and fast and absolutely nothing onstage that I don’t use. Love it. Arch isn’t bad to setup.

HI, Chris, This is amazing, I was successfully able to go through all the installation process, However, towards the end when I reboot, I get directed into my BIOS directly, I cant seem to launch the Arch bootloader. Any advice? Thanks in advance!
@@ChrisTitusTechAwesome! Let me give it another go, just to add to above, I notice that when I run lsblr -f and I notice we have sda1, not sure what the purpose of this partition is.
@@AvinashSharma-qf9kl it actually has 3 partitions it makes now. This is going to look strange to many but since I always use GPT on my disks I wanted to have backward compatibility for those with old machines. 1st partition is 1MB and emulates a MBR record 2nd partition is 100MB and is an EFI partition 3rd is root and hosts the file system.
Great Video: Wow you really are going to cause grief for quiet a few people new to using Arch. Installing it is the relatively easy bit, keeping it running after a buggy update is a different matter. On a positive note its a bloody good way to "learn" how a Linux distro works :-)
Been watching your channel since the very beginning and have always wanted a way to install Arch can't say I would use all your packages but this si very cool .
what if I chose other instead of kde?, I would really use this just to lay back instead of typing all of the commands to install the normal "hard mode" way. love your work 💪
Thank you for this! I've been trying to install JUST base Arch Linux for the last 24 hours and kept hitting road blocks with grub-install. I have no idea what was going on I just couldn't get it to install properly. I even tried Archfi and that was having the same issues with grub-install. Something about blocklists. Well, I gotta say, your script worked beautifully. So it had to have been something I was doing or wasn't doing. I'm going to look through your script files and see if I can figure out what I was doing wrong. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS! This is absolutely amazing! BTW, Arch Titus is going to be the name of my rock band. HELL YEAH!!!
I am typing this after installing your script. It all worked! (I am using a Gigabyte mobo with intel processor and Nvidia graphics card). I didn't get a change to choose the "kde plasma" (it was chosen by defaut), but that's what I wanted. Thank you sooo soo much! Im a fan of your videos Titus! 👌
ArchTitus has been a learning curve i have enjoyed. i hope to ride like a pro surfer on my journey into the world of linux. thankyou Chris for all of your hard work and effort!!! i look forward to all your future video's, after watching all of your previous one's.
I have subscribed to your channel and I have no idea how I missed this video by now. That was straight to the point. No new distro. New way to enjoy Arch.
Well built script for arch Linux handles all of the time for me to figure out all of the wine dependency’s and is very slick and looks way better than windows 10 desktop. Congrats on committing so much time to this and helping more users switch to Linux.
Man you are amazing. there is a lot off linux 'guru@ youtuber talking but you are the only one doing amazing stuff. all the best for you. and dont stop.
Nice one Chris. I have been curious to install Arch, but reluctant to do it, because of the time I assume will take me to set it up. This gives a nice opportunity to check Arch. Thank you
Kudos, Chris. This should go a long way in making Arch more accessible. Now that you've reached this pillar, I suppose the next challenge would be to script a Gentoo install so that everything would be optimized for the available hardware. :)
Chris be like, "I don't need any stinkin' distros. I am the distro!!! Unlimited distro!!!" Good stuff, sir!!! I'm tempted to see if it will work on my fun box that refused to have anything to do with Linux Mint LMDE. The desktop looks beautiful.
At looking over the scripts briefly, the main thing that jumped out at me is that there's only one btrfs subvolume. The main thing I was looking for was if you had a nice btrfs subvolume scheme setup I could copy / paste so I wouldn't have to look up how to do all that in Arch, as it was a pain in the ass the last time I did it :D
I am going to use this. After installing Voyager OS which WAS NEAR PERFECT, I have to go on to something that is PERFECT...so I will take YOUR WONDERFUL script and edit it a tiny bit...removing IMO trash like brave and replacing it with a proper LibreWolf/fox etc. Really taking the work out of this for us with YOUR labor though, so SUPER appreciated you and your video :)
looks great, Chris.. Love it. I bought your Pop/Mac setup to play with as well a month or two ago. Love that as well. Would also love to see you work that setup on Arch as well -- perhaps under the ' 2. other ' option. Rock on...

Just did an update to fix this. Should be good this go around.
I upgraded it so it can be installed on both legacy and UEFI boots.
@@ChrisTitusTechAwesome! Let me give it another go, just to add to above, I notice that when I run lsblr -f and I notice we have sda1, not sure what the purpose of this partition is.
@@AvinashSharma-qf9kl it actually has 3 partitions it makes now. This is going to look strange to many but since I always use GPT on my disks I wanted to have backward compatibility for those with old machines.
1st partition is 1MB and emulates a MBR record
2nd partition is 100MB and is an EFI partition
3rd is root and hosts the file system.
@@ChrisTitusTech That worked Chris, Thank you!
Great Video: Wow you really are going to cause grief for quiet a few people new to using Arch. Installing it is the relatively easy bit, keeping it running after a buggy update is a different matter. On a positive note its a bloody good way to "learn" how a Linux distro works :-)
"archtitus" sounds like some deadly disease lmaoooo XD jk, thank you for sharing your work is appreciated :)
Been watching your channel since the very beginning and have always wanted a way to install Arch can't say I would use all your packages but this si very cool .
what if I chose other instead of kde?, I would really use this just to lay back instead of typing all of the commands to install the normal "hard mode" way. love your work 💪
yeah i was wondering this too as i personally prefer more lightweight desktop enviroments like xfce or gnome
that last one was a joke btw
Archfi! th-cam.com/video/GUtpHFI-vjg/w-d-xo.html
@@yannrampitsch6678 Gnome only uses 540MB if you are not using Ubuntu or something
@@redrush-hp9li that's still not lightweight but much lower than ubuntu and such distros shipping with gnome.
I can't wait to try it!
Thank you for all the hard work!
Awesome 👍🏿
This is amazing on how it is now so easy thanks to you to install Arch, not only with drivers, but with daily use packages. Ty Chris!
This is cool. Good for those with little to no experience with Linux installs. Great start to learning.
Thank you for this! I've been trying to install JUST base Arch Linux for the last 24 hours and kept hitting road blocks with grub-install. I have no idea what was going on I just couldn't get it to install properly. I even tried Archfi and that was having the same issues with grub-install. Something about blocklists. Well, I gotta say, your script worked beautifully. So it had to have been something I was doing or wasn't doing. I'm going to look through your script files and see if I can figure out what I was doing wrong. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS! This is absolutely amazing!
BTW, Arch Titus is going to be the name of my rock band. HELL YEAH!!!
Super cool project Chris!
I really love this method instead of some obscure Distro that stopped being updated I run my laptop on. I'll definitely try this!
I am typing this after installing your script. It all worked! (I am using a Gigabyte mobo with intel processor and Nvidia graphics card). I didn't get a change to choose the "kde plasma" (it was chosen by defaut), but that's what I wanted.
Thank you sooo soo much! Im a fan of your videos Titus! 👌
You gave me courage to use Arch for the first time, I'll definitely use your script! Thanks Titus
@Aurora probably I'll, not gonna lie 😂
Arch isn't hard. Try it. You might like it.
installed this! Works perfectly smooth as butter
thank you for the script chris! Forked it and ready to make it my own. :)
ArchTitus has been a learning curve i have enjoyed. i hope to ride like a pro surfer on my journey into the world of linux. thankyou Chris for all of your hard work and effort!!! i look forward to all your future video's, after watching all of your previous one's.
I have subscribed to your channel and I have no idea how I missed this video by now. That was straight to the point. No new distro. New way to enjoy Arch.
Love the channel, keep up the great content. Trying ArchTitus today!
Well built script for arch Linux handles all of the time for me to figure out all of the wine dependency’s and is very slick and looks way better than windows 10 desktop. Congrats on committing so much time to this and helping more users switch to Linux.
This is so awesome! You absolute legend! I've been following the channel for a long time and you never stop amazing us. Great content as always!
That is just perfect! Thanks a lot Chris!
YOU ARE AN APPRECIABLE man for this master piece.
Good Job Titus . Really appreciate your efforts.
Man you are amazing. there is a lot off linux 'guru@ youtuber talking but you are the only one doing amazing stuff. all the best for you. and dont stop.
Nice one Chris. I have been curious to install Arch, but reluctant to do it, because of the time I assume will take me to set it up. This gives a nice opportunity to check Arch. Thank you
Kudos, Chris. This should go a long way in making Arch more accessible. Now that you've reached this pillar, I suppose the next challenge would be to script a Gentoo install so that everything would be optimized for the available hardware. :)
Just Awesome! Well done looks great.
Fantastic job, thank you very much for the time and the endeavor. Really appreciate.
Awesome script.. So much effort and great commitment from Chris..Great channel.. Thank you so much
😯 Well you've blown my mind..again. Chris T. the awesome one.
Keep going Chris 👍🏻👍🏻
Greetings from Netherland
Chris be like, "I don't need any stinkin' distros. I am the distro!!! Unlimited distro!!!" Good stuff, sir!!! I'm tempted to see if it will work on my fun box that refused to have anything to do with Linux Mint LMDE. The desktop looks beautiful.
I will definitely test drive Chris! This is so cool! Thank you!
Thanks! Now I can flex on my friends that I am a Arch user
I'm super excited for your new project with debian server, and this will probably be my tide-me-over until then.
finally somewhere that makes getting arch linux installed actually easy
At looking over the scripts briefly, the main thing that jumped out at me is that there's only one btrfs subvolume. The main thing I was looking for was if you had a nice btrfs subvolume scheme setup I could copy / paste so I wouldn't have to look up how to do all that in Arch, as it was a pain in the ass the last time I did it :D
DUDE I LOVE IT THIS IS AWESOME, gonna try it as soon as possible
You my good man are a living legend 👍 Thank you for doing the nitty gritty stuff to help people on their way always appreciate the work
I love it, it looks so polished
In this video you sound so exited, the pauses and little jokes 😂
But honestly what a beautiful and awesome command and project!
I am going to use this. After installing Voyager OS which WAS NEAR PERFECT, I have to go on to something that is PERFECT...so I will take YOUR WONDERFUL script and edit it a tiny bit...removing IMO trash like brave and replacing it with a proper LibreWolf/fox etc. Really taking the work out of this for us with YOUR labor though, so SUPER appreciated you and your video :)
This might be my first Linux experience, thanks man
Great work man👍
super cool man!! I would love to see more videos like this with different distros.
Wtf yoooo the script is just so much more advanced now. Easiest arch install ever!
looks great, Chris.. Love it. I bought your Pop/Mac setup to play with as well a month or two ago. Love that as well. Would also love to see you work that setup on Arch as well -- perhaps under the ' 2. other ' option. Rock on...
Hey Chris! This guide is really cool!
It will be great if you make a video in which you explain your script but for Debian/Ubuntu base. It will be great!
Looks great. Such good work. My laptop is about to get a new drive!
I love this -- it inspired me to curate my own script based on yours. Thanks for the video!
