This describes my basic Arch Linux installation on my Chromebook Pixel.

Note: I'm a coward, so I installed Arch to an SD card instead of wiping out the existing SSD.

Requirements

• SD card. A very minimal Arch installation with XFCE will need about 2GB, so I think 4GB is the minimum you can get by with.
• Arch installer on a USB drive. The 2013.05.01 is broken with the recent netctl change. So either get an older or newer one.
• Some Arch Linux familiarity.
• Time, patience, and good eyesight.

Mapping Caps Lock to simultaneous Esc and Super (Mod4)

The CAPS key can be mapped to an escape key when pressed once, and a super (mod4) key when used in combination with other keys.

Create the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/custom_opts with the following:

// Make Caps an additional Escape
hidden partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "super_esc" {

key { [ Escape ] };

# There's a lack of sample code for acme/Let's Encrypt out there, and
# this is an attempt to at least slightly remedy that.  It's the result
# of my first day's hacking on this stuff, so almost certainly contains
# errors and oversights.
#
# It's not designed to be specifically useful if what you want is 
# just a cert -- certbot or dehydrated are better for that.  It is sample
# code for people who are building automated systems to deal with large 
# numbers of Let's Encrypt certificates to play with.
