Desktop Environments on ArchISO

Hello. I hope this post finds you well.

The question in my mind is: how to configure a DE on ArchISO? I know it isn't as simple as adding GNOME in the package list, you also need to systemctl enable gdm.service, make automatic login, and much more. I just need the basics on how to configure a DE, even if it's not GNOME. Maybe Cinnamon, maybe Sway, Plasma, maybe the earlier mentioned GNOME... I also want instructions on how to set up the greeter, and autologin. Mabye even customizing it!

Thanks in advance, Master Archers.

I think this is what your looking for: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/archiso

I would recommend you something like sway since it is way smaller and configured over a config file so that you just have to copy that into the iso.
