# 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**](https://github.com/Antergos-NeXT/antergos-iso/releases)
|
|
_Published to GitHub Releases. (The Internet Archive upload step in CI is currently disabled — see [CI](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 `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.
|
|
|
|
The offline bare-minimum installer is **experimental and best-effort** — the online Calamares flow is the supported path.
