  • This is a great looking installer. It boots, no problem and asks all the questions that you'd expect but doesn't appear to get much further. There were some icons at the bottom of the screen that brought up tooltips but they too became unresponsive. The system didn't crash, as such, it just froze and nothing worked. The only option was to power off forcibly. If this gets fixed, the installer badly needs some sort of progress meter - maybe there is one and it froze before displaying it? I saw nothing.
  • No longer a viable installer, as it fails to actually install a working Linux system.
  • does this project still exist or is it a dead Arch Installer, since its been a few years, since the last iso release, it files are dated 2020 and its now 2023, I am looking into ones that provide an gui gnome offline pure version of arch linux without using the text, my older gigabyte is kind of picky about which versions can be used it likes arcolinuxb-gnome-v23.03.01-x86_64, archlinux-gui-gnome-2022.07-x86_64, Calam-Arch-Installer-2023-04, manjaro-gnome-22.0.5-230316-linux61, archlinux-gui-plasma-2022.07-x86_64 , garuda-dr460nized-gaming-linux-zen-230319 But I can't run these openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20230407-Media, carli-2023.04.05-x86_64 and alinstaller-2022.11.02-v47-x86_64 they all seem to lose the displayport output to my M28U Gigabyte 4k monitor, 3D card is an Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 and Gigabyte G1.Assassin 2 (rev. 1.0) Intel® X79 Chipset motherboard hardware with ddr3 memory. I have my other pc using the htmi 2 connection, and xbox series x on my htmi 1 connection on it. I use rufus to load the iso on my USB drive. but only some of them seem to display the desktop, I used ones like manjaro that allow the nvidia drivers to load, but that not included in all of them, I don't know if that's the problem, also Ubuntu 23.04 amd64 will boot into Graphics safe mode to the desktop in the grub boot loader for lunar-desktop-amd64, during the install I click on the option to install the nvidia drivers, which I think will allow that version to work I hope, I wanted to try the gnome 44 desktop, but the arch linux doesn't have it yet in their ports or pacman -Syu system yet. I might switch back to arch linux afterwards it depends on now stable the gnome 44 is going to be under ubuntu.
