Antergos NeXT ISO
Modern revival of the Antergos live installer ISO, based on the maintained EndeavourOS-ISO.

License
Antergos launched in 2012 as Cinnarch (Cinnamon + Arch), renamed in 2013, and ran until 2019. NeXT revives it KDE first, with the original installer experience and all the desktop choices you remember.
