This tiny package without any additional dependencies provides more
tools to maintain / work on the existing system or even create a new
Arch Linux system from the created one. A very useful capability worth
an additional package.
|
|
This makes sure only the `root` user can modify contents of the `/boot`
partition and only the `root` user and members of its group can read the
content.
Otherwise on `bootctl install` two warnings were raised.

The Linux kernel uses the last `console=` kernel command line parameter
as the "primary console". Only on that one the LUKS unlock prompt is
displayed.
Thus at the moment only one of the two consoles (serial / graphical) can
be fully supported. Graphical is chosen since it is the more "default"
option which should work everywhere.
Full dual-support is appreciated and might be possible to implement in
the future.

This avoids saving a multi-gigabyte image file to disk and streams
directly to the target block device.
|
|
nftables is a modern Linux firewall software. It is enabled by default
using the package-provided default rules.
|
|
This can be installed on demand. `top` is anyway available.
|
|
This replaces nano as editor.
|
|
This switches from:
- NetworkManager
- chrony
to:
- systemd-networkd
- systemd-resolved
- systemd-timesyncd
- iwd
This reduces the required packages, moves to more minimal software and
allows convenient configuration based on simple text files.
|
|
This is an incremental step towards secure boot and modernizes the boot
process. Furthermore less packages have to be installed, the bootloader
configuration is simpler and everything is file-based instead of `dd`ing
into the master boot record directly.
|
|
This allows to use the final system with Qemu's `-nographic` option.
This is more convenient since no keyboard layout has to be configured
and text can be copied and pasted.
|
|
This allows to use bigger drives like 4 TB and above.

This fits not into this section. If mentioned at all it should get its
own section. But after all it is quite obvious.
|
|
The two mentioned errors are quite common when working with Arch Linux.
|
|
Just a question of style. It makes the article a bit more professional.
|
|
This article is for new users. They do not need to know *why* something
works or how it could be more *convenient*. They just have to know *how*
it works.
|
|
This avoids line breaks or very long lines since they are not contained
in the paragraphs.
