I’m planning to set up a headless server using Arch Linux. What’s the easiest way to get this up and running? Are there specific steps or configurations I should follow for a smooth setup?

Setting up a headless server with Arch Linux can be pretty straightforward if you're comfortable with the command line. The basic idea is to do a minimal installation, configure SSH, and then manage everything remotely. Start by booting from the Arch ISO and follow the installation guide up to the point where you have a working system. Once that's done, you can install and enable the SSH server (sudo pacman -S openssh and sudo systemctl enable sshd). Then, you can disconnect the monitor, and you’ll be good to manage it headless via SSH.
