If you want to run Arch on a Laptop, use pure Intel hardware as much as possible. Especially for WiFi. Next use NVIDIA hardware if you need a discreet video card. AMD support is lacking to say the least.

# Install ARCH Linux with encrypted file-system and UEFI
# The official installation guide (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide) contains a more verbose description.

# Boot from the usb. If the usb fails to boot, make sure that secure boot is disabled in the BIOS configuration.

# This assumes a wifi only system...

# sync the clock

Say you support multiple clients or multiple projects but don't want everything on your shell at once. This script in your .bashrc file will allow you to automatically create aliases for any directory that has it's own .bashrc file. It starts a new bash shell so no existing variables are overwritten and you can exit when needed.

For example, say you have project or client named superx and another named johndoe. You create a directory superx and johndoe. Within each you pust a custom .bashrc file and optional .superx-secrets and .johndoe-secrets file and then your shell (upon next login) will detect those files and alias them to the parent directory's name. So if I want superx stuff, I just run superx and vice versa for johndoe.
