AWSM this works like a charm for me. Also adding few notes of things that I have to troubleshoot. Wireless network connectivity
windows bootloader doesn't appear on limine
display manager, without encryption omarchy will opt you in via autologin.

I did the installation yesterday, and was foolish enough to miss out on this tutorial! Had to install arch 5 times as I kept making configuration mistakes. |

I had a problem with this guide: for some reason the boot partition ran out of space (set to 1GB) Installation went through, but at reboot I saw "no valid configurations" in the limine bootloader. To fix (Claude helped) Corrected Fix for Your Limine Configuration
If Limine itself wasn't properly installed to the EFI partitionSince the tutorial had you select Limine during installation, it should have been deployed. But if you still get errors, you might need to verify the Limine EFI file exists: ls /mnt/boot/EFI/If you don't see a Let me know what you find and I can help you further! |

Having a slight issue where the manual install script gets caught on limine-snapper.sh. It can't find /boot/limine/limine.conf When I reboot I don't even get a TTY, it just boots to a black screen. I think it's something wrong with the limine.conf, and advice is appreciated. |
