+[] Partition Disks  You'll probably want to do this differently, but here's an example for a disk layout.
+                    /dev/sda1       BOOT Partition      512M
+                    /dev/sda2       SWAP Partition      RAM *2 (I recommend about 4 - 8 GiB though)
+                    /dev/sda3       ROOT Partition      Rest of the disk
+[] Format Disks     mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3 # switch out sda3 with your ROOT partition, if it's different.
+                    mkswap /dev/sda2 # switch out sda2 with your SWAP partition
+[] Mount Paritions  mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
+                    swapon /dev/sda2
+[] Pacstrap         pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware vim # Vim will be our text editor. Use Nano if you're a n00b w/ Vim.
+[] fstab            genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
+[] chroot           arch-chroot /mnt
+[] Timezone         ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York # Replace America & New_York w/ your Region & State, respectively.

+[] Network [2]      vim /etc/hostname # insert whatever you want for your network hostname (can be anything that's not used!)
+                    #OPTIONAL# vim /etc/hosts # and type: 127.0.0.1      yourhostnamein/etc/hostname
+[] Initramfs        mkinitcpio -P
+[] Root password    passwd
+[] Add Bootloader   Read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#UEFI_systems for GRUB's install. (recommended)
