It takes a while but I’m surprised the WR would be nearly 72 minutes.
I don’t quite understand the point of these speedruns since there’s usually not a defined end target and there are so many variables which are not under the user/installer’s control, like disk, processing speed
It’s fast, but you are only installing base
, linux
and grub
.
base-devel
should also be there, since it’s assumed to be installed by any PKGBUILD you’d want to build with makepkg.
But yes. It does what it said it would do: Install a basic, minimal Arch system in just over a minute.
I disagree, making your own packages is nice, but it’s not like it’s needed. I know multiple people who don’t touch the AUR or custom pkgbuilds at all
This would be interesting if it was Gentoo.
There might be some savings to be had with some sort of local package cache over 10GiB Ethernet.
