Setting up Ollama on Arch Linux

I’ve been experimenting more with AI and hosting it locally ever since I ran out of Claude tokens and some of the free AI agents I was running was also unavailable. There is also the threat of some models being restricted under export controls. We saw this recently with Claude Fable being restricted.

I’ve decided to set up on my desktop machine some of the self-hosted solutions as a backup. One of the easiest ways to get started is to use Ollama.
