Antergos NeXT
A community revival of Antergos for the post-systemd era — Artix Linux base with Dinit, KDE Plasma, and the Calamares installer.
Download
Download the latest ISO Published to GitHub Releases. (The Internet Archive upload step in CI is currently disabled — see CI.)
Latest release — v2026.07.11
What works in the latest release:
- 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
Note: the current
masterbranch moves the SDDM theme topixie(pixie-sddm-git). The v2026.07.11 release used the older theme — see the releases page for per-release changes.
The offline bare-minimum installer is experimental and best-effort — the online Calamares flow is the supported path.
