Installing Arch Linux For Dummies!

Step 0

Get a bootable Arch iso.
Partition the disk (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/installation_guide#Partition_the_disks).
If you have Windows installed, skip creating an EFI parition, we'll use Windows'.

Step 1 (filesystems and mounting)

note /dev/sdX1 IS always the EFI partition.
mkfs.ext4 -L ROOT /dev/sdXY
mkfs.ext4 -L HOME /dev/sdXZ optional
mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
mount /dev/sdXZ /mnt/home
mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/boot

Step 2 (installing stuff)

pacstrap /mnt base base-devel grub efibootmgr os-prober intel-ucode (amd-ucode if you use amd)
genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
arch-chroot /mnt
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Region/City /etc/localtime
hwclock --systohc
echo en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 > /etc/locale.gen && locale-gen
echo something > /etc/hostname
passwd (set root password)

Step 3 (bootloader)

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
exit
sacrifice a virgin to satan
reboot
