Full removal of Cnchi from the ISO. It was the original Antergos
installer and we tried to keep it alive with a GTK4 port, but the
Python GTK4 bindings were unstable, the maintenance burden was
unsustainable for a solo dev, and Calamares simply does everything
better.
What changed:
- README: complete rewrite of installer section with eulogy and
'Why Calamares and not Cnchi' explanation
- packages.x86_64: cnchi removed (calamares stays)
- run_before_squashfs.sh: removed cnchi memes dir creation, cnchi
desktop file fix, cnchi version comment; changed GTK theme from
Adwaita to Adwaita-dark (fixes white-on-white welcome app)
- airootfs/.../cnchi.desktop: deleted
- user-commands-before.bash: updated cnchi references → generic
- user_commands.bash: updated cnchi reference → generic
- .gitignore: removed Cnchi/ entry
- AGENTS.md: cnchi → calamares
- .github/workflows/build.yml: cnchi → calamares in README gen
- NOTICES: kept historical Cnchi credit (unchanged)
🕯️ Requiescat in pace, Cnchi. You did your job.
Fixes:
- cnchi.desktop: Exec=sudo -E (not pkexec or bare cnchi)
- run_before_squashfs.sh: sed now matches any Exec=*cnchi*
- packages.x86_64: remove unused python-pynacl
- Cnchi/lembrame: optional import, no more hard crash on missing libnacl
- Cnchi/cnchi.py: wrap disable_suspend in broad except
im still in the vent... a body needs to heal before crawling out. ultimate ??? trapped in 15-day isolation arc. at least the monitor glow keeps the nightmares away. dont mind the blood on the keyboard.
airootfs/usr/lib/os-release conflicts with filesystem package (owns /usr/lib/os-release).
Moved os-release creation to run_before_squashfs.sh so it's written after packages install.
