There might be some savings to be had with some sort of local package cache over 10GiB Ethernet.

Omitting grub and using systemd-boot might also take a few seconds off.

[-] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 24 points 3 months ago

It's fast, but you are only installing base, linux and grub.

base-devel should also be there, since it's assumed to be installed by any PKGBUILD you'd want to build with makepkg.

But yes. It does what it said it would do: Install a basic, minimal Arch system in just over a minute.

no networkmanager?

disqualified!

This would be interesting if it was Gentoo.

[-] fossphi@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

I don't quite understand the point of these speedruns since there's usually not a defined end target and there are so many variables which are not under the user/installer's control, like disk, processing speed

[-] gomp@lemmy.ml 29 points 3 months ago

Isn't the purpose getting views on youtube?

[-] exu@feditown.com 20 points 3 months ago

Time for systemd-speedrun to standardise this

[-] fossphi@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Good lord. Dead it, run from it, systemd still arrives

It's defined right there in the title. First keypress to login.

[-] hernanca@beehaw.org 2 points 3 months ago

I feel like it's mostly shitposting but soon enough there will be a more formal competition. Possibly with a standardized VM and local package cache.

[-] another@discuss.online 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah it really needs to be a target decided by someone else and not announced ahead of time.

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 9 points 3 months ago

It takes a while but I'm surprised the WR would be nearly 72 minutes.

[-] Tyoda@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

removed

[-] dwindling7373@feddit.it 3 points 3 months ago

No, no and... yes.

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 1 points 3 months ago

I intentionally misunderstood for (not very) comedic effect

[-] dwindling7373@feddit.it 6 points 3 months ago

I thought that was honestly the joke.

[-] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

There's only like 10 minutes of actually typing commands.

Without watching this, the premise sounds very stupid.

No window manager? Fuckin' any%...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
