Hi you all... I am going to show you how to install the most lightweight operating system the arch-linux on your pc. This guide isn't going to be a step-by-step guide.
1) Download Arch Linux ISO
2) Burn it on USB
On Windows - Use rufus ->
On linux use - dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdXY Where X is the drive letter (usually 'b') and Y is partition number (usually '1')
3) Boot from USB
Refer to your motherboard BIOS for this step
4) Partition the drive
use cfdisk and make two partitions
sda1 as your root partition (~10GB)
sda2 as your /home partition (any size you want)
5) Format partitions
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
6) mount partitions
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mkdir /mnt/home
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/home
7) Connect to internet
Using LAN cable -
ip link #to get the devices name
ifconfig devname #in my case enp3s0
dhclient enp3s0
Using wireless -
iwconfig wlp4s0 #Use device name you got from "ip link" command
wifi-menu #then select your wlan network
8) Install the base system
pacstarp /mnt base
9) Generate file system information
genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
10) Chroot into arch-linux
arch-chroot /mnt
11) Set time & date
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kolkata /etc/localtime #Use your timezone instead of Asia/Kolkata
12) install bootloader
pacman -S grub
grub-install /dev/sda --recheck
13) Exit chroot
exit
unmount -R /mnt{home,}
reboot
14) Enjoy the feel of linux
