<b>🕯️ A note on Cnchi</b>
The original Antergos installer (Cnchi) has been retired. It was briefly revived for NeXT as a GTK4 port, but proved too unstable and maintenance-heavy to carry forward. Calamares is now the sole installer — mature, upstream-supported, and more capable than Cnchi ever was. This was not an easy decision, but the right one.
<i>Requiescat in pace, Cnchi. 20122026.</i>
