Valve Steam Deck

I just used the new arch installer script, even though I've gotten my install time down to under an hour over time. It took maybe 10 minutes. I don't have very complicated or unique needs, but it "just worked" on my 4 year old Thinkpad.

I just installed arch two days ago on my wife’s 2013 MacBook Air. I heard of a script. Googled around. Looked in the wiki. Didn’t find squat! That being said arch on a 2013 MacBook Air is 10 minutes of cli and it runs like a champ!

It's very new - `archinstall` is what you're looking for.

Thanks! I don’t mind doing it by hand. It’s just partitioning. Pacstrap and setup systemd boot or grub.
