why the FUCK did i think making an init selector was a good idea
artix themselves dont even ship services in their online installer
they just give you a bare system and say "figure it out" and
it WORKS because people can just install their init of choice
afterwards. but nooooo i had to be clever and build a whole
netinstall-add monstrosity with openrc/runit/s6 service groups
that broke constantly because basestrap --overwrite is a lie
and init packages conflict with each other and sddm-openrc +
lightdm-openrc both Provide: init-displaymanager and pacman
just goes 🖕 during install.
so anyway. dinit only now. you want something else? read
changing-init.md, i literally copied the artix wiki tutorial.
i am not maintaining four init service groups in netinstall.yaml
for the rest of my life. this is my villain origin story.
actual changes:
- ripped out offline calamares mode (was never truly offline)
- ripped out packagechooser.conf (good fucking riddance)
- added packagechooser_dm.conf so you can at least pick your DM
- added BYODE offline installer (bare system + btrfs + snapper,
no DE, you pacman -Sy plasma-meta yourself)
- added yay + snapper + btrfs-progs to rootfs
- shoved Init Services + DM groups into netinstall.yaml (dinit
only, obviously)
- updated every markdown file that mentioned another init like
they were cursed (they were)
- wrote changing-init.md so i can just paste the link next time
someone asks
- X-KDE-IsAdminApplication=true so KDE stops acting like
calamares is a virus (its not, its just desperate)
Introduces iso-profiles/antergos-minimal/, a new Xfce-based profile for
building a lightweight Antergos NeXT ISO under the 2 GB GitHub Releases
limit (the full Plasma profile produces ~2.15 GB).
Profile structure:
- profile.yaml: Xfce4 desktop, dinit-only init packages, Falkon browser,
minimal app selection, antergos-xfce-theme included in rootfs
- root-overlay/: SDDM configured for xfce.desktop, GRUB theme pointed to
antergos, xfconf settings for Antergos-NeXT GTK/xfwm4 theme
- live-overlay/: Calamares offline + online configs, netinstall with
multiple DE options (Plasma, Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, LXQt, i3, Sway,
Hyprland), notesqml@minimal-info step explaining the edition rationale,
basestrap operations for antergos-release/grub-theme/keyring, display
manager selection (SDDM/LightDM/LXDM/LY), audio services (pipewire),
and antergos-xfce-theme in the Xfce subgroup
Default Xfce theme is set to Antergos-NeXT (Numix-derived, blue accent)
via xfconf XML in both live-overlay and root-overlay skel directories.
