If anyone is interested have started a classic version of ArchBang using Xorg, Openbox and tint2 panel. Still work in progress… Might upload an image over weekend for testing. You can now follow me on X too @MrGreenArchBang where I will give small updates, thoughts and possibly in the future tips and tricks. Stay safe … ArchBang-Classic anyone?
Over the past ten or more years I have hand-coded most of ArchBang’s source files. That said, most of the installer is based on the old FIFO Arch Linux scripts, modified to my own needs many years ago. Application configurations are mostly hand-coded too, with a few minor exceptions (sorry Joe). Omunchy, my light Omarchy … ArchBang and AI and why I am using it now…
Am sorry no Iso image will be uploaded, had visitors last night and not the welcome kind. Came home to find that ArchBANG headquarters had been broken into. So far we have found nothing missing but they were clearly after small pocket sized items. Rest easy as ArchBANG will continue as they were not interested … Visitors in the night…..
Quick Update: As with all things in Archlinux, there was a kernel update yesterday not long after I released Winter image. Today I have rebuild iso to run latest kernel version. Enjoy 😉 Stay safe….
A new ArchBang release candidate is up: archbang-rc-011126-x86_64.iso. This is the first build of the winter release. Please treat it as a release candidate, not a final release. Why an RC? The installer (abinstall) has had a lot of rework. Boot is tested on BIOS and UEFI, and Auto and Manual installs have passed in … ArchBang Winter – Release Candidate
Just a heads up, back from my break… both images updated and uploaded. Normal service has resumed, aka must start work on ArchBang Winter 😉 Stay safe….
Am away over weekend for a short break, normal service will resume early next week. Have a great weekend 😉 Stay safe….
Opinionated Linux distros aren’t new. ArchBang has been shipping a minimal Arch system with sensible defaults for over fifteen years, and it was never the only one. So when Omarchy arrived, the “beautiful desktop, decisions already made” pitch didn’t impress me much. I’d been doing that for years. What did catch my attention was something … Omunchy: I Reverse Agent Engineered Omarchy
I have build and uploaded a new ArchBang image, mostly package updates. Mango 0.18.0 has config changes that may break older versions. If you are having problems with config then follow this link to Mango Website Site Have checked and run mentioned migration script and worked fine. Basically things like exec-once have gone to exec_once. … Iso update and new Mango version updates…
I’ll be straight about it: Omunchy is a clone of Omarchy. It’s the same idea, a keyboard-driven tiling Wayland setup where everything is a keypress away, rebuilt to run on much lighter hardware. It isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by the Omarchy project. Why I made it I ran Omarchy on an old Chromebook and … Omunchy a fat free Omarchy clone….
