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
andgrub
.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.

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

I thought that was honestly the joke.

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 ( @drwankingstein@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English1•2 months ago
pretty misguided way to do so then lol

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 ( @fossphi@lemm.ee ) English1•2 months ago
Good lord. Dead it, run from it, systemd still arrives

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

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.

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