• 16GB swap partition
• The rest is your root partiton

# Use this command to keep you track of everything
lsblk

Formatting the partitions

# Formatting the boot partition
mkfs.fat -F 32 -n ARCHBOOT </dev/sda1>

# Formatting the swap partition
mkswap -L archswap </dev/sda2>

# Formatting the root partition
mkfs.ext4 -L archroot </dev/sda3>

Mounting the partitions

# Mounting the root partition
mount /dev/disk/by-label/archroot /mnt

# Mounting the boot partition
mkdir -p /mnt/boot/efi
mount /dev/disk/by-label/ARCHBOOT /mnt/boot/efi

# Turning on the swap partition
swapon /dev/disk/by-label/archswap

# Use this command to check if everything is ok
lsblk

Installing archlinux

# Installing the packages
pacstrap /mnt base linux-zen linux-firmware sof-firmware base-devel grub efibootmgr micro git networkmanager

Configure the system

Fstab

# Run this command to check if everything is correct
genfstab -L /mnt # I needed to run this command again: mount /dev/disk/by-label/ARCHBOOT /mnt/boot/efi

# Write the output to /mnt/etc/fstab
genfstab -L /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
cat /mnt/etc/fstab # Use this command to check if it writed the output

Chroot

# Change root into the new system
arch-chroot /mnt

Time zone

# Set the time zone
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Region/City /etc/localtime
date # Use this command to check if the time is correct

# Synchronize the system clock
hwclock --systohc
