@Willow is, IMO, just wonderful. Many use as a substitute, or [as i did for 3 yrs ending 3.5 yrs ago] as training-wheels before Arch. Fwiw, if you choose an over actual , then rather than MJ, you might wish to consider alternative such as , , , , , , , , , etc.

Best wishes... for *both* your important projects 😉

Bummed to wake up and hear that linux is ending. Not a distro I used, but could appreciate for their take on a simple install and no bloat.

@brudibrau My tower's came into existence in early Dec 2019, not installed but via , which gave simply fabulously granular control options, whilst being more friendly than trying to follow the Arch Installation Wiki with its never ending chain of hyperlinks leading to links to links to links. It's been & remains superb for me. That said, i've not checked for a while if the project remains active, ie, for the installer script to have kept up with various Arch changes, & also tech developments like & etc. Well worth consideration.

For 3 years before that, i ran . Whilst i don't regret that experience [& learned a lot from it], i'd never go back to it [governance ethics, security, repo philosophy, dubious mods to kernels et al]. Nonetheless, MJ ofc has a loyal following, beautiful theming, an easy to use Calamares Installer, & pretty impressive hardware flexibility.

is another high-profile with GUI installer [Calamares again]. Though it also provides certain customisations, overall it produces a system much closer to pure Arch than MJ does.

Other that also spare you from needing to do the full manual installation, & which IMO are worthy of consideration too, include [ArchLinux GUI Installer], , , , , , .

If you're interested in something a bit more radical, is essentially a GUI-installed "immutable Arch" that also supports & packages. I'm playing with it, part-time, in one of my VMs, to decide what i think of it.

Oh, it'd be remiss of me not to mention to you. This is a newish official Arch project for a guided-installer direct from the Arch ISO. It works decently for relatively simple partitioning schemes, but has been giving me a PITA since at least last October for my preferred schema -- if you search Masto for that hashtag you'll find my various posts about it.

I have to say that the more I use , the better I like it. 😉

FWIW I have incorporated a good deal of automation (via and ) in my personal install. I'll publish a tutorial of what I have done on my site ( eirenicon.org ) and share it on both and on .

After a new install when looking for neofetch in the repos, I found hyfetch.
This fork has some nice display features, like a setup dialog to improve the colour scheme to fit to your terminal scheme and to choose the pride flag that you want.

So already two weeks with my new install at work. Also my first real experience with archwiki I must say I am really really pleased. Performance is like to be expected, no hiccups or crashes so far.
One time my lock screen didnt accept my pw after trying a dozen times, but I think that was a bug having to do with my bluetooth keyboards + barrier config.
All in all really looking forward to using archlabs more.

So ill give up my journey today, I want to replace it with probably some kind of or distro. Looking at or something like that.
Performance in was kinda disappointing, for intensive browsing and some multimedia usage. Firefox just crashed two times again. Also snappyness is not to where I expect it to be.
Apart from that it was an interesting testrun and I can see it being used for fire and forget installations on "older" hardware.

I was a proud user of #! (CrunchBang) distro until the project ended back in 2015. The fact that it was so clean and simple was very appealing to me, used Openbox wm and i like it very much.

Then the project ended and changed hands, now is named Bunsenlabs, still in development and it's nice if you want a distro based on Debian.

But imo betten than all that is Archlabs, based on Bunsenlabs, Arch based, it's easy to install and has i3 as an option for WM.

@galacticstone Haha ok, fair enough. Then I even might be faster then you. Running it from USB right now and already could do the install during weekend. Only downer is that I prefer more recent packages and kernel. And I have plenty of deb packages and never used Arch, hence is hard to think about.

@Proto
keeps it simple and rolling
is super lean and mean
is arch made easy, is much lighter than Manjaro, and has a nice clean look
sticks to free software and features a beautiful default GNOME desktop
because KDE is so tweakable, yet also absolutely stunning with the defaults.

That said, I run Alpine, Ubuntu, and Void on my computers.

Yeah, that also struck me, especially given that I'd guess some fans would go with or .

But I'm glad to see i3 doing well—it's a good project. Probably my 4th or 5th favorite tiling window manager for linux.
