docs: add Arch Linux appendix to installation guides - #12
Merged
Conversation
bcon is now available on the AUR (community-maintained by @kay-ws). The appendix summarizes the Arch-specific deltas from the existing Debian/Ubuntu flow: pacman vs apt, AUR helper bootstrap, yay -S bcon, and the simplified login session (session files pre-installed by the AUR package).

New features (contributed by @kay-ws): Config discovery: - Layered XDG-style merge: built-in defaults → /etc/bcon/config.toml (system) → ~/.config/bcon/config.toml (user override) - Tables merge recursively; scalars and arrays replace wholesale - BCON_CONFIG env var for single-file debug bypass - Config::default_template() API for distributors CLI: - --init-config now accepts explicit target: system, user, or path - sudo bcon --init-config=system deterministically writes to /etc/ - Legacy --init-config=vim,jp still writes to ~/.config/ (backward compat) Also includes: - Arch Linux installation docs (#12) - libinput udev hotplug support (#10) - Lenient Kitty graphics base64 decode (#7) Contributors: @kay-ws Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Adds a "For Arch Linux Users" appendix to both
docs/installation.mdanddocs/installation.ja.md, documenting the AUR install path as discussed in #11.AUR package live since 2026-04-24: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bcon (community-maintained by @kay-ws).
Changes
The new section covers four subsections in parallel between the English and Japanese guides:
pacman↔aptmapping for the official-repo deps.yaybootstrap recipe (pacman -S --needed git base-devel→git clone aur.archlinux.org/yay.git→makepkg -si).yay -S bcon.bcon-sessionandbcon.desktopin their final locations (/usr/bin/,/usr/share/xsessions/), so the manualcpstep from the Debian section is unnecessary.Notes
This PR matches the draft I posted in #11 with one minor cleanup — blank lines added after the four numbered-list titles (
1. Package manager,2. AUR ...,3. Install bcon,4. User Login Session) so CommonMark/GFM renders the title and body as separate paragraphs instead of running them together. Wording and structure are otherwise identical to the draft.Validation
yay -S bconcompleted cleanly (~2m29s on 4 cores, 42 new packages, 946 MiB install size). Session files landed in the expected paths and thebconxsession appeared in the DM picker.Closes #11.
