Improvement: Archiso

[Zeioth]

A more user friendly way of installing the OS would be to use archinstall to create an ISO that:

• Launches an script that installs arch+sway
• Launches our software+configs installation script/s

The obvious advantage of this is to being able to burn the ISO in an USB pen but it requires a considerable amount of tweaking to have this ready. It would be smart to speak with someone who already did this in the past.

Conclusion

Archiso → Build an iso with our installer, and that's all.

1. Our arch installer installs arch without using archinstall → The old way
2. Out software installer does everything else.

Future

• Following this approach, we could create a github pipeline that uses archiso and this repo to create a daily build (The same way we would do manually).

This is just an UX improvement, and it's not super important right now, but it would make it feel more like an OS/Distro.

TODO

• Look for practical archiso examples on github.
• Read the arch wiki for fine grained details.
