Deactivate Grub Menu

In order to achieve the fastest possible boot, instead of having GRUB wait for a timeout, it is possible for GRUB to hide the menu.

Add the following line to your /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_FORCE_HIDDEN_MENU="true"

Get an AUR Helper

An AUR helper search for packages published on the AUR and make the package installation process much easier.

There a lot of there but, my personal choice is yay.

pacman -S --needed git base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si

Paru is also a popular choice:

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru.git
cd paru
makepkg -si

More Info

Get Wifi Working

To list all the available Networks:

nmcli device wifi list

To connect:

nmcli device wifi connect "Your-Wifi" password "Your-Password"

To turn on:

nmcli radio wifi on

To turn off:

nmcli radio wifi off

If nmcli cannot detect Wi-Fi networks, it is likely that you need a driver.

In my case my computer does not detect the wifi until I did the following:

yay -S rtl8821ce-dkms-git

And then paste blacklist rtw88_8821ce in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf.
