Install Arch Linux on Dell XPS 9570

Install Arch Linux on Dell XPS 9570

This is my first attempt to install Arch Linux - either on bare metal or in a virtual environment. I spent a couple of hours trying to boot the image and get to the system for the actual installation. - Pressing enter on the boot entry Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI CD always resulted in a black screen. After trying several boot parameters I decided to rewrite the USB key. After that I was able to boot, with no startup parameters needed.

Run all commands as the root user.

  • As the default Linux console font is very small on HiDPI displays I will use the largest font present in kbd package:
setfont latarcyrheb-sun32

i3 WM: Remap Right Win key to Right Hyper

i3 WM: Remap Right Win key to Right Hyper

As sometimes I use a TKL keyboard without multimedia keys, I wanted Right Win and some other key combination to control audio volume.

My keyboard layout is us and I am using Left Win key assigned to mod4 as the modifier key. The spacebar row on my keyboard looks like this:

[Ctrl] [Left Win] [Alt] [Space] [Alt] [Right Win] [Menu] [Ctrl]

Using X
