exit
umount -R /mnt

# Preparing for first boot (Nvidia GPU) - Follow linked instructions:

After First Boot

sudo pacman -S --noconfirm pacman-contrib

Audio Fix for VMs

mkdir -p ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/ cd ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d nano 50-alsa-config.conf

Add the following lines:

monitor.alsa.rules = [ { matches = [ # This matches the value of the 'node.name' property of the node. { node.name = "~alsa_output.*" } ] actions = { # Apply all the desired node specific settings here. update-props = { api.alsa.period-size = 1024 api.alsa.headroom = 8192 } } } ]
