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.

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.

I disagree, making your own packages is nice, but it's not like it's needed. I know multiple people who don't touch the AUR or custom pkgbuilds at all

I know. It's not marked in the wiki as essential and you can have a functional system without it.

no networkmanager?

drwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 2y

networkmanager is for chumps, long live dhcpcd

disqualified!

This would be interesting if it was Gentoo.

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

Isn't the purpose getting views on youtube?

drwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

pretty misguided way to do so then lol

fossphi@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y

Doesn't really matter as long as people watch, I guess. Or maybe it's purposefully that way to draw engagement

Time for systemd-speedrun to standardise this

fossphi@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

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

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

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

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

No, no and... yes.

wewbull@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 2y

I intentionally misunderstood for (not very) comedic effect

drwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.com · -3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

It's the way it's written, it's typically hour:minutes.seconds

treadful@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y

No, it isn't. A decimal is always a decimal.

datelmd5sum@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

That's not ISO-8601 / RFC 3339.

dwindling7373@feddit.it · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I thought that was honestly the joke.

spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

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

Without watching this, the premise sounds very stupid.
