+# Installation Arch Linux (e.g. on Lenovo Think Pad)
+
+You have to disable secure boot in the BIOS. Enable virtualization and enable access to the USB for booting.
+Also, you should disable `legacy mode` and enable `UEFI` in the BIOS.
+
+Insert a prepared `ventoy` USB stick with already installed latest Arch Linux ISO file.
+
+# Change keyboard layout to German language
+```
+# loadkeys de-latin1
+```
+
+## Connect to WLAN (Wi-Fi access)
+If you have no ethernet access, only Wi-Fi, you can connect to the Access Point:
+```
+# iwctl
+[iwd]# device list
+```
+At least one device, e.g. `wlan0`, should now appear.
+
+```
+[iwd]# station wlan0 scan
+... wait a moment ...
+[iwd]# station wlan0 get-networks
+```
+If, for example, the network is called ‘mynet’, then:
+```
+[iwd]# station wlan0 connect mynet
+Passphrase: *******
+[iwd]# exit
+```
+
+If the network is `eduroam` follow the next section:
+
+### Connect to EDUROAM eduroam.8021x
+
+Firstly, you have to create a new file at /var/lib/iwd/eduroam.8021x with:
+
+All personal data, such as ma0079, and the password, must of course be replaced.
+```
+# cd /var/lib/iwd
+# nano -cl eduroam.8021x
+```
+Content of the file:

+
+### Start the iwctl wireless connection tool
+```
+# iwctl
+[iwd]# device list
+```
+At least one device, e.g. `wlan0`, should now appear.
+
+```
+[iwd]# station wlan0 scan
+```
+... wait a moment ...
+```
+[iwd]# station wlan0 get-networks
+[iwd]# station wlan0 connect eduroam
+Passphrase: *******
+[iwd]# exit
+```
+
+## Check the internet connection
+```
+# ping -c 3 kuschel.at
+```
+
+## Remote access via SSH
+
+If you are on the same network, you can easily access the machine via ssh.
+First you have to give the user `root` a new password to get access via the pre-installed openssh with:
+```
+# passwd
+```
+Then within the same network, connect without using a strict host key check (no hosts file is put into .ssh directory)
+
+Now from any linux machine in the same network, you can access that device with:
+
+```
+$ ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o LogLevel=quiet root@archiso.local
+```
+or if you know the ip address (e.g. 192.168.170.2) of the machine, it could also be established with:
+```
+$ ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o LogLevel=quiet root@192.168.170.2
+```
+
+# Start the arch installation script
+Hint: If possible, use a terminal window with a minimum size of approximately 160 x 46 so that all entries are clearly visible, e.g. in the partition table.
+```
+# archinstall
+```
+### Archinstall language
+```
+English (100%)
+```
+### Locales
+```
+Keyboard layout: de-latin1
+Locale language: en_DK.UTF-8
+Locale encoding: UTF-8
+```
+Note: Using ‘en_DK’ instead of `de_DE` or `de_AT` is ideal for receiving English operating system messages.
+In addition, the operating system uses European date/time formats.
+The `en_DK.UTF-8` locale is not the only option for these formats; for example, `C.UTF-8` can also be used for 24-hour time.
+However, `en_DK.UTF-8` is frequently recommended in the ArchWiki and community discussions as a practical choice for users who want a consistent, internationally recognized date and time format without relying on US-centric defaults.
+It is also used in conjunction with other locales to mix and match formatting rules, such as using `en_GB.UTF-8` for language and `de_DE.UTF-8` for paper and measurement standards.
+
+### Mirrors and repositories
+```
+Select regions: [x] Austria
+                [ ] China
+                [x] Czechia
+                [x] Worldwide
+```
+```
+Additional repositories: [ ] multilib
+                         [ ] testing
+```
+
+### Disk configuration
+#### Partitioning
+```
+Disk configuration type > Use a best-effort default partition layout
+
+```
+Select the correct built-in hard drive that you want to format.
+For instance:
+```
+      Model                   | Path         | Type | Size     | Free space | Sector size | Read only
+  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  [ ] VendorC ProductCode     | /dev/sda     | scsi | 58.6 GiB |          0 |         512 |     False
+> [x] Samsung SSD 990 PRO 2TB | /dev/nvme0n1 | nvme | 1.8 TiB  |    1907728 |         512 |     False
+```
+Note: The `/dev/sda` is the USB stick, so we have to select and partition/format the `/dev/nvme0n1` device.
+
+Select the filesystem `BTRFS`, and create a default subvolume structure with compression, i.e. `zstd`:
+```
+Filesystem
+  > btrfs
+    ext4
+    xfs
+    f2fs
+```
+```
+Would you like to use BTRFS subvolumes with a default structure?
+
+   No    > Yes
+```
+```
+Would you like to use compression or disable CoW?
+
+ > Use compression     Disable Copy-on-Write
+```
+My configuration looks like:
+
+```

+#### LVM
+We don't use LVM, a logical volume.
+
+#### Disk encryption
+
+Here we could activate hard drive encryption.
+If it is a company laptop (PC), the partition of a hard drive should be encrypted.
+Typically, LUKS is used.
+
+
+#### Btrfs snapshots
+
+We try out the snapshot type `Snapper`
+
+### Swap
+
+#### Swap on zram:
+```
+Enabled
+```
+
+### Bootloader
+
+If "UEFI is not detected and some options ...", you have to enable UEFI boot option in the BIOS.
+
+```
+> Systemd-boot  (default)
+  Grub
+  Efistub
+  Limine
+```
+We use Systemd-boot, formaly known as Gummiboot.
+Systemd-boot relies on the EFI System Partition (ESP) for configuration and boot entries.
+
+### Unified kernel images
+
+Unified kernel images: Disabled
+
+### Hostname
+
+I use a colourful network at home:
+
+We give the PC a nice name, e.g. a colour such as `silver` or another colour that is not yet used in our network.
+
+### Authentication
+
+This section is self-explanatory: enter a root password and create a user.
+
+#### Root password
+
+Adding a good root password
+
+#### User account
+
+We add a user `tom` to the system
+```
+Should "tom" be a superuser (sudo)?
+    No   > Yes
+```
+
+### Profile
+
+#### Type
+```
+> Desktop
+  Minimal
+  Server
+  Xorg
+```
+
+I use `Cinnamon` as a profile and desktop environment
+Installed packages:
+```
+- cinnamon
+- engrampa
+- gnome-keyring
+- gnome-terminal
+- gvgs-smb
+- system-config-printer
+- xdb-user-dirs-gtk
+- xed
+```
+
+#### Graphics driver
+For the best compatibility with your Intel hardware, you may want to use either the all open-source or Intel options.
+For the best compatibility with your Nvidia hardware, you may want to use the Nvidia proprietary driver.
+
+```
+  AMD /ATI (open-source)
+  All open-source     (default)
+  Intel (open-source)
+  Nvidia (open kernel module for newer GPUs, Turing+)
+  Nvidia (open-source nouveau driver)
+> Nvidia (proprietary)
+  VirtualBox (open-source)
+```
+My DELL has a built-in Nvidia card, so I selected `Nvidia (prorietary)`, with installed packages:
+```
+ - dkms
+ - libva-nvidia-driver
+ - nvidia-dkms
+ - xorg-server
+ - xorg-xinit
+```
+If that doesn't work, I will try with `All open-source`.
+
+#### Greeter
+I choose the default `lightdm-gtk-greeter` from the list:
+```
+  gdm
+> lightdm-gtk-greeter   (default)
+  lightdm-slick-greeter
+  ly
+  sddm
+```
+
+### Application
+
+### Kernels
+
+### Network configuration
+
+### Additional packages
+
+### Timezone
+
+### Automatic time sync (NTP)

+First we start by creating a wineprefix and installing our prerequisites from terminal:
+
+Install winetricks with e.g. yay winetricks (winetricks-git)
+
+Since wine 10.8.2 use the following:
+
+```bash
+WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/GarminExpress winetricks dotnet472 vcrun2010 corefonts d3dcompiler_47
+```
+
+
+
+```bash
+WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/GarminExpress winetricks dotnet472 vcrun2010 corefonts d3dcompiler_47
+```
+
+```bash
+WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/GarminExpress winetricks win7
+```
+
+Note: You will be prompted during the setup for .NET installation just hit next and finish. Also, I like to seperate win7 after the prerequisites are setup to make sure the wineprefix runs in Windows 7 mode.
+
+With that out of the way we need to download and install our GarminExpress.exe Setup executable. I downloaded mine from https://www.garmin.com/en-US/software/express
+
+Run the GarminExpress.exe file in our wine prefix
+
+```bash
+WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/GarminExpress wine explorer /desktop=garmin,1366x768 /home/$USER/Downloads/GarminExpress.exe
+```
+
+Note: If you downloaded the GarminExpress.exe to another location replace it above
+
+Modify your shortcut to be the following command
+
+```bash
+WINEPREFIX=/home/$USER/GarminExpress wine explorer /desktop=garmin,1366x768 /home/$USER/Downloads/GarminExpress.exe
+```
+
+Upon Launch you should see this screen which should recognize your Garmin device
