pid_fan_controller VS archinstall

For fan speed controll i would recommend a pid fan controller like https://github.com/ThunderMikey/pid_fan_controller as it adjusts the speed to keep a target temperature instead of stupid linear curves (heat transfer is also dependent on ambient temperature which changes)

Link to GitHub repo which has more info about the installer: https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall

Archinstall (https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall) has been present in the official Arch package sources for some time. This should shorten the installation time. Just as a hint. :-)

$ pacman -Si archinstall | awk '{print " "$0}' Repository : extra Name : archinstall Version : 2.1.1-1 Description : Just another guided/automated Arch Linux installer with a twist Architecture : any URL : https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall Licenses : GPL Groups : None Provides : None Depends On : python-archinstall Optional Deps : None Conflicts With : None Replaces : None Download Size : 10.98 KiB Installed Size : 8.10 KiB Packager : Giancarlo Razzolini Build Date : Thu 28 Jan 2021 02:50:19 AM PST Validated By : MD5 Sum SHA-256 Sum Signature

However, the installation of vanilla Arch is basically not difficult either. And for some time now, archinstall has been included in the official package sources, which can simplify the installation.

That's for you to decide. Basically, the installation of Arch consists to a large extent only of executing the commands mentioned in the official instructions. In addition, Archinstall (https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall) has recently been added to the official package sources which makes installation simpler.

Seems like it is designed to do both equally well. Has a guided installer and functions as a python library for installing arch and whatnot programmatically. https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall

Crap. Seems like I linked to the wrong repository. Correct is probably https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall.

Just to inform, a fix has been merged: PR #84: reworked kde.py to use sddm instead of hacking xinitrc and will be in v2.1.1 this weekend :) Thanks for reporting and pointing this out!
