why the FUCK did i think making an init selector was a good idea
artix themselves dont even ship services in their online installer
they just give you a bare system and say "figure it out" and
it WORKS because people can just install their init of choice
afterwards. but nooooo i had to be clever and build a whole
netinstall-add monstrosity with openrc/runit/s6 service groups
that broke constantly because basestrap --overwrite is a lie
and init packages conflict with each other and sddm-openrc +
lightdm-openrc both Provide: init-displaymanager and pacman
just goes 🖕 during install.
so anyway. dinit only now. you want something else? read
changing-init.md, i literally copied the artix wiki tutorial.
i am not maintaining four init service groups in netinstall.yaml
for the rest of my life. this is my villain origin story.
actual changes:
- ripped out offline calamares mode (was never truly offline)
- ripped out packagechooser.conf (good fucking riddance)
- added packagechooser_dm.conf so you can at least pick your DM
- added BYODE offline installer (bare system + btrfs + snapper,
no DE, you pacman -Sy plasma-meta yourself)
- added yay + snapper + btrfs-progs to rootfs
- shoved Init Services + DM groups into netinstall.yaml (dinit
only, obviously)
- updated every markdown file that mentioned another init like
they were cursed (they were)
- wrote changing-init.md so i can just paste the link next time
someone asks
- X-KDE-IsAdminApplication=true so KDE stops acting like
calamares is a virus (its not, its just desperate)

Wallpapers
The antergos-wallpapers package provides default wallpapers for the live session and installed system.
Current wallpaper
antergos-wallpaper.png — the original Antergos wallpaper, sourced from the Antergos/wallpapers repo. GPL-3.0.
Also ships:
- adwaita-morning.webp — GNOME Adwaita Morning (7680×4320, CC BY-SA 3.0 by Jakub Steiner)
- antergos-darkest-hour.jpg — KDE Plasma variant (GPL-2+)
Installation paths
| Path | Purpose |
|---|---|
/usr/share/wallpapers/antergos-wallpaper/contents/images/ |
KDE wallpaper picker (reads from here) |
/usr/share/backgrounds/antergos/ |
Other DEs / fallback |
/usr/share/antergos/backgrounds/ |
Legacy path |
The KDE plugin names are antergos-wallpaper and antergos-darkest-hour, each with their own metadata.desktop.
Set on first login
Plasma overwrites /etc/skel/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc on first login, so putting the wallpaper in skel doesn't work. Instead, a one-shot autostart script handles it:
/usr/local/bin/set-antergos-wallpaper.sh— runsplasma-apply-wallpaperimage, creates marker file~/.config/antergos-wallpaper-set~/.config/autostart/antergos-wallpaper.desktop(from skel) — calls the script withX-KDE-autostart-phase=2
The marker file prevents the script from running on subsequent logins.
Customizing
To replace the wallpaper, update the antergos-wallpapers package:
packages/antergos-wallpapers/PKGBUILD— update source URL and checksumpackages/antergos-wallpapers/<image-file>— new wallpaper imagepackages/antergos-wallpapers/metadata.desktop— update name if changing
Rebuild the package and push to the antergos-packages repo.
