+# Personal Arch Linux Install Guide
+
+I'm using this repo to record the steps I take to install and personalize arch linux.
+Hopefully I can automate some of the later steps over time.
+
+# Part 1 - Installation
+
+Generally following the steps on the arch 
+[install guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide) to
+get to a chrooted environment.
+
+- Verify we booted as x64 UEFI `cat /sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size`
+
+## Network
+
+- Check device with `ip link`
+- Auth wifi with `iwctl station wlan0 connect $AP_NAME`
+- `ping archlinux.org` to verify
+
+
+## Partitioning
+
+Use fdisk to partition:
+/boot : 1G partition, type=1 (EFI), bootable (press M then a)
+/ : remainder of the disk, default type
+
+For /boot (/dev/sda1) call `mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sda1`
+
+Follow the steps 
+[here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#LUKS_on_a_partition)
+to encrypt the root partition. Consider increasing the cryptographic parameters as mentions.
+
+Mount the partitions at /mnt and /mnt/boot.
+
+## Install
+
+Install the base:
+`pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware`
+
+Followed by important packages:
+`pacstrap /mnt grub efibootmgr e2fsprogs networkmanager vim man-db man-pages texinfo sudo`
+
+# Part 2 - Configure 
+
+Generally follow the configure the system steps in the 
+[install guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide#Configure_the_system).
+
+`genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab`
+
+`arch-chroot /mnt`
+
+- Set the time as described.
+- Set the localization as described.
+- Enable NetworkManager `systemctl enable NetworkManager.service`
+- Update the initramfs as described 
+[here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system#Configuring_mkinitcpio)
+
+- Set the root password
+
+- Run `grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB`
+- Update `/etc/default/grub` to have the line:
+`GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cryptdevice=UUID=device-UUID:root root=/dev/mapper/root"`
+- Run `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`
+
+- Reboot sucessfully(?) into the new system.
+
+## In the new system
+
+Connect to wifi
+- `nmcli device wifi list`
+- `nmcli device wifi connect --ask $SSID`
+- `nmcli c modify $SSID connection.autoconnect true`
+
+Create a user:
+- `useradd -m -G wheel drew`
+- `EDITOR=vim visudo` and uncomment the line starting %wheel
+
+Install helpful utilities:
+
+- `pacman -S git`
+
+TODO: Install graphics driver pagckages?
+
+# Part 3 - Desktop
+
+Reboot and login as the new user.
+
+Clone this git repo at /home/drew/install.
+
+Run `sudo ./install_desktop.sh`
+
+# Part 4 - Applications
+
+`mkdir Documents/ Downloads/ Pictures/`
+`sudo pacman -S firefox`
+
+Log into firefox w/ sync (installs bitwarden.)
+
+# Part 5 - Dev environment
+
+`sudo pacman -S neovim lua-language-server ccls rust rust-analyzer jedi-language-server`
+
+Start up neovim and run PackerSync
+(note you may have to comment out:
+init.lua: require(impatient)
+opts.lua: vim.cmd("colorscheme nordfox")
+
+
+Add ssh keys to gitea and gitlab.
+
+mkdir prog and clone a c++ code base, a python code base, and a rust code base to test the language server.
+
+
+# Part 6 - Optional
+
+Steam?
