Preparations

This is a shortened version of the Arch Wiki installation guide.

Create a live boot USB with the image. Easy.

Boot the thing

Set keyboard layout (e.g. German)
```
loadkeys de-latin1
```

Verify boot mode (if there is output, we're in UEFI and good to go)
```
ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
```

List network devices
```
ip link
```

Connect to the internet
- LAN: Just plug in a cable
  - Verify with ip a s
- WiFi: run iwctl --passphrase MY_PASSPHRASE station MY_DEVICE connect MY_SSID

Test connection
```
ping archlinux.org
```

Update System time
```
timedatectl set-ntp true
```
