Installing Arch Linux on Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (3rd Gen)

Here are some notes on my attempts to install Arch Linux on my ThinkPad.

This page is a work in progress…

I am mostly following the YouTube video tutorial by GloriousEggroll:

• 2017 Arch Linux EFI Install Guide (uploaded 20th Aug 2017)

plus the blogpost by the same author (which has received some updates since his 2017 video went live).

I have the official Arch Linux wiki install guide open as another reference.

I have also been following Luke Smith’s various YouTube videos on installing Arch:

• Install Artix or Arch Linux (Encrypted system) (uploaded 3rd Feb 2023)
• Full Arch Linux Install (SAVAGE Edition!) (uploaded 8th March 2018)
• After a Minimal Linux Install: Graphical Envionment and Users (uploaded 21st April 2018)
