"...we {do these} things not because they are easy, but because they are hard,">
"because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills,">
"because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone..."

🛠️ Installation
1. Get the installation image
🚀 Custom ISO (recommended)
sudo ./build.sh --cleanWrite to USB:
sudo ./build.sh --usb /dev/sdXTag, push, and create a GitHub release with the ISO:
sudo ./build.sh --clean --releaseDownload the latest pre-built ISO from GitHub Releases, or build one locally with archiso:
📦 Stock Arch ISO
Download the official image: archlinux-version-x8664.iso
Write to USB using dd — use the disk (e.g. /dev/sdx), not a partition:
lsblk -f dd bs=4M if=path/to/archlinux-version-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdx conv=fsync oflag=direct status=progress
2. Boot USB and install
Custom ISO — dotfiles and packages are already on disk:
bootstrapStock Arch ISO — downloads dotfiles and packages from the network:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cogikyo/dotfiles/master/install.sh)- Set partition configuration via the archinstall UI
- Set authentication and user via the archinstall UI
- Reboot into the new system
3. Post Install
Dotfiles are copied (custom ISO) or cloned (stock ISO) automatically during arch install. After reboot:
~/dotfiles/install.sh allWith the custom ISO, packages resolve from the local cache — no downloads or AUR rebuilds needed. The local cache is cleaned up automatically after the packages step.
