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

Download
ISO images exceed GitHub's 2 GB release limit. They are uploaded to SourceForge
⚠️ Early releases may have incomplete DE package lists. The latest packages.xml is always in the cnchi-next repo. Building from source after a fresh clone ensures you have the most up-to-date package selection.
How to build
You need an Arch-based system with archiso available.
sudo pacman -S archiso git squashfs-tools --needed
git clone https://github.com/Antergos-NeXT/antergos-iso.git
cd Antergos-NeXT-ISO
./prepare.sh
sudo ./mkarchiso -v "."
The .iso appears in the out/ directory.
Custom packages
The ISO uses the antergos-packages repo for custom packages (Cnchi, keyring, mirrorlist, desktop settings, wallpapers). Add it to your system:
[antergos-pkgs]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = https://Antergos-NeXT.github.io/antergos-packages/$repo/os/$arch
Server = https://Antergos-NeXT.github.io/antergos-packages
Sources
- EndeavourOS-ISO — base ISO build system

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