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.
