Calamares Installer

Uses Calamares with two modes and custom branding.

Modes

Mode	Description
Offline	Unpacks a KDE Plasma squashfs — no internet needed
Online	Netinstall with init system choice + desktop selection

The launcher (calamares-next) presents a mode picker before launching Calamares.

Key differences from upstream

dracut/dracutlukscfg replaced with initcpiocfg/initcpio/luksopenswaphookcfg (Artix uses mkinitcpio, not dracut)
services-openrc module instead of services-systemd
removeuser step removed, postcfg added
packagechooser module compiled in (upstream skips it)

Init system selector (online)

Users choose from: OpenRC, Runit, S6, Dinit.

Implemented as a packagechooser instance with method: netinstall-add — the selected init pulls its associated packages.

Desktop selector (online)

Users choose from: Plasma, Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, LXQt, i3, Sway, Hyprland, or No Desktop.

Implemented as a separate packagechooser instance with method: legacy. "No Desktop" installs only the base system (TTY-only).

Available desktops

Desktop	Artix Repo	Group/Packages
Plasma	world	`plasma` group
Xfce	galaxy	`xfce4` group
Cinnamon	galaxy	Individual packages
MATE	galaxy	`mate` + `mate-extra` groups
LXQt	galaxy	`lxqt` group
i3	world	`i3` group
Sway	world	`sway` + related packages
Hyprland	world	`hyprland`

Note: Budgie is not available in any Artix repo and has been removed from all configs and slideshows.

Offline mode

No packagechooser. Uses unpackfs to deploy a pre-built KDE Plasma squashfs, then initcpiocfg + initcpio for mkinitcpio configuration.

Branding

Custom branding lives in the calamares-branding-antergos-next package, installed to /etc/calamares/branding/default/. The componentName in branding.desc must match its directory name.
