Cnchi

Cnchi was the graphical installer developed for the now-discontinued Antergos Linux distribution. Designed to offer a user-friendly installation experience, Cnchi provided both novice and experienced users with a simple, guided interface for configuring system settings, selecting desktop environments, and installing packages. It dynamically fetched up-to-date packages during installation and supported custom configurations, language options, and partitioning schemes. Though Antergos is no longer maintained, Cnchi remains a well-structured Python GTK project and can be repurposed for other Arch-based distributions.

Real-time package fetching from Arch repositories
Desktop environment selection during setup
Guided and manual partitioning support
Locale, timezone, and language configuration
