Why this repo?
Over time, in all the Archlinux installations that I do there are always things that I have to search on google. This repo tries to end that :)

Deactivate Grub Menu
In order to achieve the fastest possible boot, instead of having GRUB wait for a timeout, it is possible for GRUB to hide the menu.
Add the following line to your /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_FORCE_HIDDEN_MENU="true"
Get an AUR Helper
An AUR helper search for packages published on the AUR and make the package installation process much easier.
There a lot of there but, my personal choice is yay.
pacman -S --needed git base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si
Paru is also a popular choice:
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git
cd paru
makepkg -si
Get Wifi Working
To list all the available Networks:
nmcli device wifi list
To connect:
nmcli device wifi connect "Your-Wifi" password "Your-Password"
To turn on:
nmcli radio wifi on
To turn off:
nmcli radio wifi off
If nmcli cannot detect Wi-Fi networks, it is likely that you need a driver.
In my case my computer does not detect the wifi until I did the following:
yay -S rtl8821ce-dkms-git
And then paste blacklist rtw88_8821ce in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.
Set Permanent Keyboard Layout
sudo localectl set-keymap "your-layout"
Example:
sudo localectl set-keymap la-latin1
Get Audio working
Install alsa-utils:
sudo pacman -S alsa-utils
To control the audio:
amixer set Master 2%+
amixer set Master 2%-
You can map this commands to a key. Example using i3.
If this dosen’t work try:
systemctl --user restart pulseaudio
Adjust time to local time
timedatectl list-timezones
Example:
timedatectl set-timezone America/Lima
Mount other Disks on Startup
To mount other disk on startup you need to edit you /etc/fstab file.
Example:
/dev/sda1 /home/zero/disk ext4 defaults 0 1
Fonts
Get a fonts with icons like noto-fonts-emoji-apple.
yay -S noto-fonts-emo-apple
