+# Setting up the boot loader with systemd-boot
+1. Setting up bootloader with systemd (EFI, mounted at /boot)
+1.1. sudo bootctl install
+1.2. copy over the loader.conf to /boot/loader/loader.conf and modify (set timeout to 0 because faster)
+1.3. find partition ID using blkid
+1.4. create arch boot entry with that UUID /boot/loader/entries/arch.conf
+
+# Setup user
+1. useradd -s /bin/bash -m -G wheel kk
+1.1. `m` - means create directory
+1.2. `-G wheel` - means add to sudo group so that sudo works when using the user
+2. passwd kk
+
+# Enabling internet
+1. enable and start systemd-networkd
+1.1. for ethernet: copy over the ethernet configuration file from default configs
+1.2. for wifi: need to install iwd first in pacstrap, I think copy over the config and setup the connection using iwd
+
+# Nvidia drivers
+1. pacman -Syu nvidia-open
+1.1. For my PC graphics card
+
+
