![]() Now one very important part: partitioning disks. The important thing here is read and understand the wiki’s installation guide. ![]() Once we have everything configured, we start our virtual server and start Installation. In order to get good enough performance with the video driver without bloating the CPU usage in the physical host, I’ll configure: Video virtio (paravirtualized) allowing 3D acceleration Display Spice configuration (Intel chipset) Starting my Arch Linux VM and Installation CPU Configuration – Copy CPU configuration. This will be quite performant and will allow me to use nested virtualization whenever I want to use it… And I’m sure I’ll want to use it a some point in the future. The CPU configuration for my VM will use a host-passthrough for my host configuration. You should properly configure your virtual hardware (in my case I’ll use 8Gb Ram and 4 CPU cores and a new 60Gb hard disk, which is far more than needed). ![]() You can also create your Virtual server using virt-manager (or the way you prefer it). You can download the ISO image following the instructions in their download page. However, Virtualbox has a clear advantage over KVM: You can use it in Windows, MacOS and of course, in Linux. In this case, as I’m a linux user, I’ll create a new VM using KVM with the help or virt-manager, which is faster than VirtualBox. Of course, I wouldn’t recommend doing this on your laptop hardware, but I would rather recommend installing it using a virtual machine first, until you feel comfortable with your Arch Lilnux installation. In fact, an interesting thing to do is starting by installing Arch linux following Arch’s wiki installation guide. There is a nice site to start learning Linux: This is Arch wiki.
