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 defined right there in the title. First keypress to login prompt.
Yeah it really needs to be a target decided by someone else and not announced ahead of time.
Time for systemd-speedrun to standardise this
Good lord. Dead it, run from it, systemd still arrives
Isn’t the purpose getting views on youtube?
pretty misguided way to do so then lol
Doesn’t really matter as long as people watch, I guess. Or maybe it’s purposefully that way to draw engagement
I feel like it’s mostly shitposting but soon enough there will be a more formal competition. Possibly with a standardized VM and local package cache.
It’s fast, but you are only installing
base,linuxandgrub.base-develshould 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
I know. It’s not marked in the wiki as essential and you can have a functional system without it.
disqualified!
no networkmanager?
networkmanager is for chumps, long live dhcpcd
It takes a while but I’m surprised the WR would be nearly 72 minutes.

No, no and… yes.
It’s the way it’s written, it’s typically hour:minutes.seconds
That’s not ISO-8601 / RFC 3339.
No, it isn’t. A decimal is always a decimal.
I intentionally misunderstood for (not very) comedic effect
I thought that was honestly the joke.
There’s only like 10 minutes of actually typing commands.
Without watching this, the premise sounds very stupid.
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.
Omitting grub and using systemd-boot might also take a few seconds off.
