Arch Linux has a little secret that the "old school" users, don't like to promote. -- A hidden GUI installer.

Burn the Arch Linux ISO to USB (or CD/DVD).
Boot from the USB (or CD/DVD).

When Arch starts, you'll see the terminal, but instead of going through the lengthy and complicated process outlined by Arch Wiki, type archinstall and press enter.

This GUI is text based, but very easy to navigate. Use arrow keys to navigate, and a mix of space and tab to select, with your enter key to confirm. You can move back and forth throughout the selection, undo changes, or just navigate around before making your choices. Nothing is final until you go all the way down to the "install" option, and even then it will ask you to confirm.

Windows 11 April 2025 patch is out!

Microsoft have recently released this month’s Patch Tuesday for Windows 11 computers and laptops, and they usually contain new features that the normal patches will include. These new features, along with many improvements and bug fixes, will enhance your user experience by making some of the features easier to use. The official changelogs for this month’s patch is:

  • [Authentication] This update addresses an issue affecting machine password rotation in the Identity Update Manager certificate/Pre-Bootstrapping Key Initialization path. This issue occurred particularly when Kerberos was used and Credential Guard was enabled, potentially causing user authentication problems. The feature Machine Accounts in Credential Gurad, which is dependent on password rotation via Kerberos, has also been disabled, until a permanent fix is made available.
  • [Daylight Saving Time (DST)] Update for the Aysen region in Chile to support the government DST change order in 2025. For more info about DST changes, see the Daylight Saving Time & Time Zone Blog.
  • [PcaUiArm] This update addresses an issue affecting the PcaUiArmUpdate feature, which results in unexpected behavior in specific scenarios.

To install this update, you can just click on a big Check for updates button in the Windows Update settings. Usually, Windows 11 automatically updates your computer to this patch update. Installation of updates on an SSD should not take more than 10 minutes, but performing the same update on an HDD may take more than 30 minutes.

Enjoy the new features!
