I've seen your video tutorials on YouTube. They're very good!

Just tried the latest ISO image and I absolutely love it, fantastic work by all involved.

However, you seem to be using pamac as an automatic package updater — I do not think this is a good idea and I think that it may end up breaking user's systems if you have a pure Arch base.

The pamac front end runs partial upgrades by default (it performed one while I was trying out the live version) and these are specifically warned against by the Arch Linux developers:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … nsupported

As an alternative to pamac, I would recommend one of the generic package tools such as gnome-software instead, although any automatic update system should always be avoided when running Arch, IMO.

EDIT: the best advice is from former-#!er @Alad:

Now If someone put a gun to my head and told me to use a GUI front-end, I'd probably go with tkpacman since basically all it does is run pacman commands in a terminal, while offering a preview of said commands.

@o9000 - Erik does dome good tuts.

@H_o_a_S - I was unaware of the partial upgrades provided by Pamac. Thanks for the info and I will put it to the team. Thanks for the positive words, we have had a great response so far.

How's it going for you?

Great job, very fast boot times and everything worked out of the box!

@HoaS
I too wasn't aware of pacmac behaving in that way, thanx for sharing.

dolly · 2017-05-02 11:24:31

Yes @HoaS, very interesting indeed, thanks from here too.

Sector11 · 2017-05-02 13:42:44

{sniff sniff} booted the USB stick and got "kernel panic"

If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have o luck at all. Latest Bunsen ISO went fine.

Wow, a really nice review here:
