Calamares Launcher

The calamares-next script (calamares-next.sh) handles the installer boot flow.

Flow

Mode picker — Dialog asking Offline or Online install
Configuration — Copies the appropriate settings.conf (offline or online) to /etc/calamares/settings.conf
Launch — Runs calamares with the selected config

Launcher location

Installed by calamares-branding-antergos-next to /usr/bin/calamares-next.

Desktop entry

/usr/share/applications/calamares.desktop in the live-overlay launches with:

Exec=sudo -E calamares-next

Note: sudo -E preserves environment variables (required for WAYLAND_DISPLAY, XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, etc. when launched from the SDDM session).

Mode picker (dialog)

A simple kdialog or zenity dialog:

Offline — No internet required, installs KDE Plasma from squashfs
Online — Init system selector + DE selector via packagechooser, downloads packages from the internet

Config switching

SetConfig() in calamares-next.sh:

Removes existing symlink at /etc/calamares/settings.conf (must rm -f first, not overwrite, or cp follows the symlink)
Copies the selected settings file
Calamares reads the config on launch

Hiding "Install Artix"

The live-overlay includes calamares-config-switcher.desktop with NoDisplay=true — this hides the upstream Artix launcher while keeping the binary available.
