<p>This post summarizes how I install and dual-boot Arch GNU/Linux
with Full-Disk Encryption alongside macOS. It is not meant to be a
replacement for the
-<a href="//wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/installation%5Fguide">Installation
+<a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/installation%5Fguide">Installation
Guide</a> or the former

+<a href="https://csdietz.github.io/arch-beginner-guide/">Beginner's
Guide</a>. Rather, it mostly serves as a small summary with a few
useful notes about the gotchas.</p>
<h2>Creating a bootable Arch Installer USB</h2>
<p>There are different ways of creating a bootable Arch USB, all
documented on the
-<a href="//wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB%5Fflash%5Finstallation%5Fmedia">USB
+<a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB%5Fflash%5Finstallation%5Fmedia">USB
flash installation media</a> page on the Arch wiki, but the simplest
one is using <code>dd</code> if you already have access to another
UNIX system.</p>
<h2>Partitioning</h2>
<p>I won't dive into partitioning and instead, I will refer you to the
-<a href="//wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning">Partitioning</a>
+<a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning">Partitioning</a>
page of Arch wiki. Of the available partitioning tools, I personally
prefer <code>cfdisk</code>.</p>
<h2>Setting up LVM & LUKS</h2>
<p>I use an
-<a href="//wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting%5Fan%5Fentire%5Fsystem#LVM%5Fon%5FLUKS">LVM
+<a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting%5Fan%5Fentire%5Fsystem#LVM%5Fon%5FLUKS">LVM
on LUKS</a> setup, where I set up LVM on top of the encrypted
partition.</p>
<p>where <code>/dev/sdaX</code> is the partition you created in the
last step (e.g. <code>/dev/sda4</code>). For more information about
the <code>cryptsetup</code> options, see the
-<a href="//wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Device%5Fencryption#Encryption%5Foptions%5Ffor%5FLUKS%5Fmode">LUKS
+<a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Device%5Fencryption#Encryption%5Foptions%5Ffor%5FLUKS%5Fmode">LUKS
encryption options</a>.</p>
<p>Then we open the container:</p>
<p>Congratulations! You now have a minimal Arch installation.</p>
<p>At this point, I usually install my favorite AUR helper,
-<a href="//aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacaur/">pacaur</a>, then I
-install the
-<a href="//aur.archlinux.org/packages/mba6x%5Fbl-dkms/">mba6x_bl-dkms</a>
+<a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacaur/">pacaur</a>, then
+I install the
+<a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mba6x%5Fbl-dkms/">mba6x_bl-dkms</a>
backlight driver to fix the post suspend/resume issue where there's no
brightness after waking up from suspend, and the only available
brightness would be 100%.</p>
