Seeking a reproducible Arch Linux install workflow and maintenance tips

28 Tem 05:45

Looking for a solid, reproducible workflow when installing Arch from scratch. I plan to use a minimal base, handle partitioning with a clear scheme, and rely on the official installer scripts. Prefer a text‑editor‑centric configuration, using declarative tools like Ansible or just plain shell scripts to automate package installation, locale setup, and user creation. How do you organize your dotfiles and manage updates to keep the system lean yet functional? Any tips on handling bootloader configuration and avoiding common pitfalls would be great. What’s your go‑to strategy?
