This is my 2026 created guide of all things archlinux I learned over the past 7 Years. It is based on my old installation guide and tested with the recent archlinux image (note the Readme notice).
Tested Release: 2026.01.01
Feel free to Follow the Markdown Files by starting from the lowest number to the highest. On DE (Desktop Environments): Only select one is recommended.

Have fun and go the Arch way!
