linux-installer
Universal GNU+Linux installer script
Support for Arch, Debian stable, latest Fedora, openSUSE Tumbleweed and Void included. These distros are chosen because they each have a unique package manager. Goal is to support as much hardware as possible. Currently only supports limited install options.
Features:
- EFI and Legacy booting
- Choice of yes/no swap (sized for hibernate support)
- BTRFS filesystem with subvolumes and fstab configured
- SATA and NVMe drives
- Install multiple distros from one iso
- AMD and Intel x86_64 CPUs
- Support for being installed inside VirtualBox and KVM/QEMU
- SSDs and HDDs
- Encrypted root+swap partition
- Performance kernels when available
- Fish shell
- GRUB bootloader
How to use:
- Boot into an Arch environment. Latest live iso recommended.
- Make sure your target drive is attached and internet is connected.
- Run this command with root privileges:
curl -sL https://raw.github.com/EmperorPenguin18/linux-installer/main/install.sh | sh
- Answer prompts. Currently not very user friendly. If you've done an Arch install manually before you should know the terms.
- Wait for installation to complete.
- Boot away! Only the most basic packages are installed so the rest is up to you. But thats the fun part right? :)
Future:
- Support ARM processors (single-board computers, new macbooks)
- Add Gentoo, bedrock, alpine, and exherbo, freebsd, guix
- Remove bash (replace with dash for scripts and fish for users)
Known issues:
- Can't use NVMe drives with Legacy boot
If this script doesn't work for your hardware create an issue. I can't test everything, but I'd like as much hardware as possible to work.
