 # Antergos NeXT
 
-A community revival of Antergos for the post-systemd era — **Artix Linux** base with **Dinit**, **KDE Plasma**, and the **Calamares** installer.
+A technical successor to Antergos for the post-systemd era — **Artix Linux** base with **Dinit**, **KDE Plasma**, and the **Calamares** installer. Its own branding, its own identity — the lineage continues, the Antergos feeling doesn't get replaced.

-What works in the latest release:
+Hotfix release. What's fixed in v2026.08.17 "Arranxo":
 
-- KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland (with SDDM)
-- Full audio support on installed systems
-- Custom SDDM theme (not Breeze)
-- Correct `/usr/lib/os-release` (shows "Antergos NeXT", not "Artix Linux")
-- Choose your desktop (Plasma/Xfce/Cinnamon/MATE/LXQt/i3/Sway/Hyprland/COSMIC)
-- GRUB with Antergos theme
-- Custom Calamares slideshow
-- Xlibre X server included
+- **COSMIC display manager now works** — `cosmic-greeter-dinit` ships as its own package and the online `displaymanager.conf` lists `greetd`, so `/etc/greetd/config.toml` gets written and the greeter starts. The Xeitoso-era COSMIC-breaks-DM bug is gone.
+- **zsh login lockout fixed** — `users.conf` forces `/bin/zsh` but nothing installed it, so a freshly installed system couldn't log in. `zsh` is now in the netinstall Default group. Thanks to jtadlock91 for reporting it.
+- **New KDE Plasma (Minimal) entry** — a stripped-down Wayland-only Plasma for low-end hardware: `plasma-meta`, kitty, pcmanfm-qt, featherpad, grim, slurp. No XWayland, no branding, no bloat.
 
-> Note: the current `master` branch moves the SDDM theme to `pixie` (`pixie-sddm-git`). The v2026.07.11 release used the older theme — see the [releases page](https://github.com/Antergos-NeXT/antergos-iso/releases) for per-release changes.
+Only KDE Plasma was tested this release. The other DEs are in the installer but best-effort — see the [release notes](https://github.com/Antergos-NeXT/antergos-iso/releases/tag/v2026.08.17-release). The offline installer is also **experimental and best-effort** — the online Calamares flow is the supported path.

 ### How `netinstall-add` works
 
 When the user selects a DE, `packagechooser@de` writes a group definition to the `netinstallAdd` global storage key. When the `netinstall` module loads, it reads this key and appends the DE's package group to the tree. This allows users to see and refine the packages for their chosen DE — for example, deselecting specific applications.
 
-The DM selector uses `netinstall-select`, which marks the chosen DM group (e.g. SDDM) as checked in the netinstall tree. Both keys are read by the netinstall module's `onActivate()` method at runtime. See `NetInstallPage.cpp` in the Calamares source for details.

+
+Both directories serve the **online** installer. There is no offline Calamares config in this overlay (and no offline Calamares mode at all — see [Installer](installer)).
+
+- `etc/calamares/modules/` — the active module configs at runtime. After `calamares-next.sh` copies `calamares-online/settings.conf` to `/etc/calamares/settings.conf`, the `modules-search: [ local ]` directive resolves modules from this directory.
+- `etc/calamares-online/` — the online install sequence (`settings.conf`) plus its own `modules/` tree. The two module trees are kept in sync; the `calamares-online/modules/` copies exist so the online flow has a self-contained config source. The copies under `calamares/modules/` are what actually loads at runtime.

 ### `etc/calamares-online/settings.conf`
 
 The online install sequence. Defines two `packagechooser` instances:
 
 - `packagechooser@de` — desktop environment selector using `method: netinstall-add`. Writes the selected DE's package group to the `netinstallAdd` global storage key. The DE group is dynamically appended to the netinstall tree when the netinstall module loads.
-- `packagechooser@dm` — display manager selector using `method: netinstall-select`. Marks the chosen DM group as checked in the netinstall tree.
+- `packagechooser@dm` — display manager selector using `method: netinstall-add` with inline DM groups. Appends the chosen DM group to the netinstall tree.
 
 The `modules-search: [ local ]` directive resolves module configs from the same directory as the settings file (`/etc/calamares/modules/`).
 
-> There is **no** `settings.conf` at `etc/calamares/` in this overlay. The `/etc/calamares/settings.conf` on a live system is a symlink installed by the `calamares-branding-antergos-next` package (`ln -sf ../calamares-offline/settings.conf`), and `calamares-next.sh` swaps it to the online config at runtime.

-- `calamares-online/modules/` — reference copies and additional modules (e.g. `partition.conf`, `mount.conf`) that are used during the online install flow. These are not loaded directly but serve as the source of truth for the install sequence.
+> There is **no** `settings.conf` at `etc/calamares/` in this overlay.
