Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.24.0 Qt Version: 6.11.0 Kernel Version: 6.19.11-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-10300H CPU @ 2.50GHz Memory: 8 GiB of RAM (7.5 GiB usable) Graphics Processor 1: Intel® UHD Graphics Graphics Processor 2: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Manufacturer: Alienware Product Name: Alienware m15 R3 System Version: 1.35.0 This distro suits my system beautifully with only a few tweeks needed regarding manual install of Nvidia drivers, but they are available via Software update tool. A small issue with update indicator being persistant after completion, and not being able to use the icon directly after install for first update. but can be completed through System update checker in main menu. overall i see big potential in this distro and i tip my hat to the work done so far.Reply from ArchEZPosted 2026-04-24
Thanks! Glad to see that people are finding my distro useful. I am aware of the persistent indicator issue, and will be working to fix it in the future with a brand new update manager written from scratch. This will take some time though as I am busy with education as well as fixing critical system issues. If you have any issues or suggestions in the future, the best place to post them is on the official support page: https://github.com/SuperSonic65535/archez-linux-archiso/issues.
