so github told me my repo has NO community standards apparently CODE_OF_CONDUCT? nonexistent. ISSUE_TEMPLATES? nada. PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE? the void stared back. and github profiles has a little checklist like im some kind of degenerate who doesnt know how to run a project. well NOW i have standards. and they are ROCK SOLID STABLE. you want systemd? fork from before-systemd-change and figure it out yourself, i gave you a numbered tutorial right in the CoC. the AI moderator will read it and then politely but firmly tell you to go fork yourself (the repo, not literally, read the CoC). also threw in the pixie SDDM switch that i apparently never committed to the netinstall yamls either (kill me), the batch install main.py cleanup, and fixed the README lying about why artix. DEUS VULT and please file your issues in the YAML forms provided or the AI will judge you

|
|
A community revival of Antergos — built on **Artix Linux** with **Dinit**, **KDE Plasma** desktop, the **Calamares** installer (online mode), and a BYODE script for offline installs.
|
|
|
|
## What changed
|
|
|
|
| Before | After |
|
|
|--------|-------|
|
|
| Arch Linux (systemd) | Artix Linux (Dinit) |
|
|
| GNOME desktop | KDE Plasma desktop |
|
|
| archiso build system | artools (`buildiso`) |
|
|
| Custom Cnchi installer | Calamares (mature, upstream-supported) |
|
|
| Symlinked overlays | Resolved, self-contained profile overlays |
|
|
|
|
## Why Artix?
|
|
|
|
The Antergos NeXT project prefers init system flexibility over systemd lock-in. Artix Linux provides a clean Arch-like experience with your choice of **Dinit** (default), Runit, or S6 — see `changing-init.md` if you want something else.
|
|
|
|
> **Why Dinit?** We shipped OpenRC. Then Calamares kidnapped pacman's resolver and every `--noconfirm` call picked `elogind-dinit` (alphabetically before `elogind-openrc`). Dinit works great and OpenRC's service enabling was broken on installed systems anyway. Dinit wins by alphabetical destiny.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
Requires an **Artix-based** system:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install build deps
|
|
pacman -S artools squashfs-tools
|
|
modprobe loop
|
|
|
|
# Clone and enter
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Antergos-NeXT/antergos-iso.git
|
|
cd antergos-iso
|
|
|
|
# Set workspace to repo root
|
|
export WORKSPACE_DIR="$PWD"
|
|
|
|
# Must use our pacman.conf (has antergos-pkgs repo)
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.config/artools/pacman.conf.d
|
|
cp pacman.conf.d/iso-x86_64.conf ~/.config/artools/pacman.conf.d/
|
|
|
|
# Build
|
|
sudo ./buildiso -p antergos
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT**: Use `./buildiso`, not `buildiso`. The Artix system `buildiso` at `/usr/bin/buildiso` lacks the `--overwrite='*'` flag passed to `basestrap`, causing file conflicts (e.g. `calamares` vs `calamares-branding-antergos-next` both claiming `/usr/share/calamares/branding/default/`). Our repo's `./buildiso` has it.
|
|
|
|
The `.iso` appears in `/var/lib/artools/buildiso/iso/antergos/`.
|
|
|
|
First build pulls ~5 GB from the internet. Subsequent builds use pacman cache.
|
|
|
|
### Custom packages
|
|
|
|
The ISO pulls custom packages (branding, Calamares config, wallpapers) from our repo. Add it to your system:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[antergos-pkgs]
|
|
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
|
|
Server = https://antergos-next.github.io/antergos-packages
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Profile structure
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
iso-profiles/
|
|
├── antergos/
|
|
│ ├── profile.yaml # Packages, services, build config
|
|
│ ├── root-overlay/ # Files merged into rootfs (os-release, pacman.conf, sddm)
|
|
│ └── live-overlay/ # Files for the live environment (Calamares configs, etc.)
|
|
├── common/
|
|
│ └── common.yaml # Shared base packages
|
|
├── pacman.conf.d/
|
|
│ └── iso-x86_64.conf # Pacman config used during ISO build
|
|
└── buildiso # Modified buildiso with Antergos branding
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Overlays are self-contained (no symlinks to external directories) so the repo builds standalone.
|
|
|
|
## Installer
|
|
|
|
| Mode | Description |
|
|
|------|-------------|
|
|
| **Online** | Full Calamares netinstall with desktop selection (KDE Plasma, Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, LXQt, i3, Sway, Hyprland) |
|
|
| **BYODE** | Bare system + btrfs + snapper — you `pacman -Sy` your own DE. Script available on the live desktop. |

## A Note to the "Branding Police"
|
|
|
|
If you came here to hate and you're about to type "why are you using Antergos's branding" — pack your bags and go to **Manjaro**. We have Dustin's blessing. We are respectful. We are not them. Move on.

*Antergos launched in 2012 as **Cinnarch** (Cinnamon + Arch), renamed in 2013, and ran until 2019. NeXT continues the spirit with a modernized, Artix-based foundation — KDE Plasma, Calamares, and the same multi-desktop ambition you remember.*

*Dustin Falgout, one of the original Antergos developers, has given his blessing for this community revival ([see NOTICES](NOTICES)). Antergos NeXT is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the original Antergos project.*
