So, to keep it short

- Went with the online installation

- Selected swap to file, brtfs

- Install

And then - error "Failed to run Pacstrap. Details: Failed to run pacman"

Already tried to update the mirrors (Arch, reflector-simple and Arch, rate-mirrors, as only these ones seem to work without konsole popping up

Any fixes?

Hi!

So, as the title states, I'm completely new to Arch Linux, and Linux overall

My new laptop arrives tomorrow (May 5th) with built in Windows 11 (HP Omnibook X Flip 14, 32gb RAM LPDDR5X, 1tb SSD), and I'm planning to install Arch Linux and KDE Plasma on it

I've seen the installation process is rather tedious, but I'm not really familiar with overall usage, can I setup a password on login, can I completely get rid of Windows and use this laptop as Arch Linux, KDE Plasma only?

If there's a thread about it, please leave a link below, if there isn't - happy to see any blogs, larger comments, whatever

Thanks y'all!
