arco-plasma's Introduction

Project Update: Transition to New Repositories

Repository Status: Deprecated

IMPORTANT NOTICE: As of April 2024, these GitHub repositories will no longer be maintained and are preserved solely as a reference for the numerous tutorial videos available on YouTube. For active development and ISO building guides, please visit our new repositories.

Transition Announcement

In April 2024, we announced a significant shift in our project to enhance simplification and efficiency. This update is focused on streamlining deployment and testing processes to improve the overall user experience.

Key Updates

Consolidation of ISOs

Reduced Complexity: We have streamlined from 45 different ISO images to just three, simplifying testing and maintenance.
Tailored Options: The available ISOs are optimized for diverse user needs, incorporating boot systems like GRUB, systemd, and rEFInd.

Calamares Installer Enhancements

Enhanced Integration: The Calamares installer now seamlessly supports multiple bootloaders, including the new rEFInd option, alongside existing GRUB and systemd-boot.

Desktop Environment and Software Selection

Optimized Choices: We have phased out less stable or popular desktops and software, focusing on options that provide stability and are well-regarded within the community.

Community Testing and Feedback

Engagement Request: Community testing of the new ISOs is vital. We rely on your feedback to ensure compatibility across a wide range of hardware and to make necessary adjustments.

Future Directions and Bootloaders

Innovation Continues: We are exploring additional bootloaders and kernels to increase flexibility and meet the evolving preferences of our users.

Commitment to Education and Updates

Rolling Release and Learning: Our project remains committed to the rolling release model, promoting continual learning and regular updates to enhance skills in Linux and Arch-based distributions.

Internet Connectivity and Kernel Testing

Increased Importance of Connectivity: Test your internet connectivity with the following kernel options, based on your distribution choice:
- Arconet: linux kernel, linux-zen kernel
- Arcopro: linux kernel, linux-lts kernel
- Arcoplasma: linux-kernel, linux-cachyos

Guidance for Building ISOs

For detailed instructions on building your ISOs using the latest tools and best practices, refer to our new active repositories:

Arconet Pro Repositories

Just keep rolling

Users of ArcoLinuXL, ArcoLinuXS, ArcoLinuxD, and ArcoLinuxB ISOs can continue to enjoy the rolling release model, as these distributions are based on Arch Linux, which is inherently designed to roll forward with continuous updates.

NOTE: We use the archiso package from Arch Linux, which is subject to ongoing updates. Not every Arch Linux-based distro has access to this tool. Stay updated with the latest versions of archiso here.

We appreciate your continued support and feedback as we transition to these new platforms and enhance our project.

arco-plasma's Issues

Suggestions

I just have a small suggestions as to how to group packages in the packages.x86_64 list.
Instead of grouping packages under different categories as to where it belongs. It can be categorised as:

Display managers
Base packages for plasma DE ('plasma-desktop' group of arch)
Extra packages for plasma (everythingthat's under 'plasma' group but not in 'plasma-desktop').
KDE applications most common/useful
KDE application others.
Applications (Categorised as Browsers, utilities, Multimedia, torrent, editors and so on).
Fonts can be grouped together
Themes can be grouped together.
Anything else can also be grouped based on categories.

After the essentials, all other packages can be included as groups or categories with or without the source of origin.

I feel like providing a small description of each section really helps in package selection and one might not be fully aware of what each package/group of packages does and whether or not it's optional or necessary for certain kind of functionality.

This is just an idea. I might be wrong here and the reason you decide to put them that way may have some other reasons which I am happy to learn about.

Edit: Categories for kernels can also be included.
