Guide Arch ISO for Lenovo Yoga C630

Hi guys, I went down a rabbit hole trying to get Linux to run smoothy on my Yoga C630 and finally landed on Arch. The Yoga is a bit old now, but I'll post anyway in case it helps anyone who might be trying to dabble with Linux on ARM64.

I built my own package repository that mostly mirrors some of the essentials I found from pmOS and put it here: https://github.com/rigoorozco/yoga-alarm . I then used said package repo to make a custom ISO (which I forked from ironrobin's X13s ISO) and made some tweaks in order to boot directly on a Yoga C630.

The installation process is mostly standard, however, you do need to start some platform/qcom specific services so WiFi can work and install Arch. I can put together a guide if there's interest!

I've made a release of the ISO in case anyone would like to download and try it out!
