#ArchLinux Installer #Archinstall 3.0.3 Is Out to Improve Limine Bootloader Support and Add Many Changes https://9to5linux.com/arch-linux-installer-archinstall-3-0-3-improves-limine-bootloader-support
Replied in thread
@apublicimage @itsfoss "then everyting worked and I remembered" did everything work becáúse you remembered the arch install did excist? #archinstall
Just discovered that Arch Linux now has an installation menu!
Gone are the days of typing every command manually—now there's archinstall, a guided installer that simplifies the setup process. You can choose partitions, desktop environments, and more with an interactive menu! 
Still the same Arch flexibility, but now way more accessible. Loving this improvement!

Včera jsem vyzkoušel poslední ISO #archlinux 
#archinstall je předělaný, teď už zvládne instalaci Archu každý.
Today I installed #ArchLinux in a #VM.
I tried the #ArchInstall installer for the first time. It worked well for a quick adhoc spin up but doesn't offer some configuration things that I tend to do. There's probably ways to extend the install but I couldn't be bothered. It let me install #CosmicDE without issue so that's nice.
Ran like a scalded cat and felt snappy in the VM (Wayland, QXL). Noice. Makes me question the host (old #PopOS #Gnome #Cosmic w/ Xorg). Not scientific!

Phosh 0.43.0 released with improved quick settings, accent color support, new Pomodoro timer quick setting, option to disable lockscreen authentication, save screenshots permanently, improved Squeekboard:
https://phosh.mobi/releases/rel-0.43.0/
(Idk how about you but I'm not that excited for desktop Linux updates, or most mobile updates, but I'm always excited for Phosh updates because there's some update in each version which makes my experience better (currently waiting for the next postmarketOS update to get Bluetooth quick setting status page so I don't need to open settings to connect my headset each time. The built-in screenshot feature is pretty weird, idk why someone would prefer saving screenshots to clipboard instead of as a permanent file, currently I use GNOME Screenshot because of this, even if it's not fully mobile friendly, will probably ditch it if I get Phosh 0.43.0))

Hey y'all
I hope you are doing well this Friday. Just dropping by to let you know that the December version of #XeroLinux is done. Testing it one last time before release.
Also if you want to build an updated version of the official #ArchLinux ISO with latest functional #ArchInstall you can do so by following guide on the site. #FOSS #Linux #OpenSource

The #archinstall script was the right thing to do, to give access to so many people to the (IMO) best personal distro out there, #ArchLinux.
Now `archinstall` v3.0.0 looks even more amazing.
