Excellent news, thanks! I have been considering replacing my Antergos (w/ Openbox) installation with ArchLabs. The Antergos installation has been humming along nicely for about a year -- not much to complain about -- and that's partly why I've hesitated to make the switch. But ArchLabs looks like a better deal for me.

Thanks guys!

Dobs, I downloaded your April 64 bit ISO, it is gorgeous!

I couldn't install it, I only have one USB stick ATM and I needed b43 firmware. Can it be included or are y'all going for no non-free packages?

H3, is this something that can be installed post installation? Or is it required pre-install?

I would have something to install non-free firmware so that a user can be able to get a network connection for those network adapters that require firmware in order to bring up a connection.

@dobbie, I only have one USB drive ATM, I'd need another to hold the b43 files during installation. My workaround is easy enough... I'll be dual-booting, sp I'll just bypass network setup during install, copy the folder /lib/firmware/b43 (or b43-legacy, or whatever firmware) over from my BL partition and setup the network.

@DeepD, in BL/Debian, the package we include is b43-fwcutter, that extracts the non-free Broadcom drivers and is a seperate package from firmware-linux-nonfree

@hhh, have put it to Nate to see if he can come up with something. Will let you know what we come up with.

Döbbie03 · 2018-05-07 05:41:50

@hhh, talking with Nate further, b43-fwcutter is included by default. Maybe you'd need to add the firmware itself from the AUR?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=b43

Döbbie03 · 2018-05-07 08:05:07

@hhh, heads up, new ISO out soon with the B43 firmware added.

hhh · 2018-05-07 19:04:17

Hot damn, thank you!

@Dobbie, To be honest the new installer wanted to know my blood type (I think), so I got bored half-way (I know it's arch and it's ....). Will try some other day when I regain my nerd powers . Not complaining, just saying.

That's the trimmed down version too......it's a pretty simple installer once you get into it.

New AL wallpapers, as usual full inspiration comes from BL

ArchLabs text, thanks to the Manjaro guys for the idea......

hhh · 2018-05-10 01:00:38

Looks great, Dobs!

DeepDayze · 2018-05-10 01:41:13

Now ArchLabs has piqued my interest in playing with Arch again.

Döbbie03 · 2018-05-10 06:00:51

@H3, thanks mate.

@DeepDayze, you won't be disappointed

cloverskull · 2018-05-10 14:29:25

Hey Dobbie03, is there a way to take an arch installation and archlabs-ify it? I like building everything from scratch initially but would love a sort of automated desktop builder.

Döbbie03 · 2018-05-11 05:50:36

@cloverskull, not that I know of. Might as well just use ArchLabs

On that note, we have a new release, https://bit.ly/2KW07sW.

You can steal their configs from the github site:

https://github.com/ARCHLabs/Archlabs-User-Home

https://github.com/ARCHLabs/ArchLabs-Themes

https://github.com/ARCHLabs/Archlabs-Wallpapers

etc...
