ArchLabs Linux

Thank you, but I wouldn't be so arrogant to think that LOL! ArchLabs are forever in the debt of the Bunsen boys for being so kind to allow us in the beginning to use their configs and copy the look. It really meant a lot.

On that note, ArchLabs 2017.10 is available for those of you interested. We really refined on the previous release. This one is even tidier and smoother.

Check it out

^I was joking around ... I'm sure BL devs are honored the BL became a model to another successful distro.

Actually, I was going to install it permanently on my Asus EEE pc, but the decision about ditching 32bit arch made it not worth (in the long run).

^ I knew that, hence me adding the "LOL"

We consider ourselves Bl's little brother. My wish was for BL to be based on Arch as Debian is too outdated for my tastes (in comparision to Arch) but we knew that wouldn't happen so hence ArchLabs!

Question, does switching to LTS kernel decrease number of updates somehow or did I read that wrong? Or is there a more general (not kernel only) LTS model?

I'm not sure if you use Arch but from what I understand the updates to the kernel are fewer when using the LTS rather than always updating the latest kernel.

^ Arch's LTS kernel tracks the upstream kernel.org LTS branch.

The LTS kernel is the only sane choice for Arch (IMO), the vanilla version just breaks too often

Döbbie03 · 2017-10-25 06:34:05

What HOAS said.

Saying that though, I have had very little issue with the latest kernels. So far.

brontosaurusrex · 2017-10-25 08:44:11

I'd use something in between Debian stable & Arch (in number of updates), perhaps I'll try sid.

ArchLabs is featured in Linux Format Uk's November edition

malm · 2017-10-28 21:23:34

Very impressive. It's taking off

Döbbie03 · 2017-10-28 21:32:09

Yes it is, we are so surprised at AL's popularity.

dolly · 2017-10-29 08:39:42

That is just so cool. Latest iso is very cool too, interesting to see the differencies with Bunsenlabs. Thanks guys .

Döbbie03 · 2017-10-30 05:32:33

Thanks dolly.

There is only one ArchLabs - and Dobbie03 is THE ArchLabRat!

Döbbie03 · 2017-10-31 05:18:47

That I am S11!

ArchLabs finally has a .com

https://archlabslinux.com/

dolly · 2017-10-31 17:11:10

Congratulations to the .com, looking very nice too.

Döbbie03 · 2017-11-01 05:08:08

Thank you. Hopefully I haven't missed anything.

@Dobbio03
I tried Minimo yesterday. Very impressed with the speed. Couple of observations.

On install I couldn't see a way to specify the /home in a separate partition, may be I missed it.
Liked the obmenu.
Would have preferred printer support already there as it is in BL.
Similarly the inability to browse network fileshare is proving irksome to a non-expert. I have managed to connect with a cifs statement in fstab but only as root!

Congratulations on some great work.

Just testing ArchLabs 2017.12 on the craptop. Not long now until release.

Awesome, have ArchLabs 201710 installed and must say a very fast, lean, and mean distro!

Look forward to the new release!

cheers
