Arch Linux Installation

💡 This project is a personal tool. I created it to simplify my life and automate my Arch Linux installation process. It reflects my personal choices and is not a tutorial, but rather a documented guide for my own use. Feel free to use it, adapt, modify, fork, and play around, but use it at your own risk! I hope it helps you too!
