Following the guide is mostly ok ;
- No need to partition if there's no need to (esp EFI) ; you'll run into a permissions nightmare on your /home, but that's better than loosing data
- Only format your system / partition (or root partition) with makefs.<type of filesystem>
- It's ok to mount the EFI partition to /boot/efi so as to not fill that small partition with everything in /boot, especially numerous kernels
- Default install through pacstrap needs a lot more stuff, you'll probably want:
-- base-devel linux-lts os-prober pacman-contrib
-- grep rsync nano tar git iwd - snapper ?
-- gdm gnome networkmamager gedit - or any of your logon manager and desktop evironement you choose
-- bluez bluez-utils
-- firefox vlc smplayer gimp
When you chroot in, it's normal for os-prober to not see the M$ partition, even if it is mounted ; you should re-run it, and grub-mkconfig, when you did reboot into the actual system
- don't forget to start some services, duh...
-- gdm.service
-- NetworkManager.service
-- bluetooth.service
with systemctl enable --now <name of unit>.service
Create a basic user with
useradd -m <name of user>
Add it to sudoers with
EDITOR=nano visudo
Now you can reboot. Have you installed some network software ? Have you started a graphic shell ? That's the core needs for a functional fresh install to be tuned further as needed.
Set up aur or flatpak for dropbox and ungoogled-chromium ; add python-gpgme for dropbox
