      The very first Archinstall wasn't capitalized, either.

        If there are breakages, shouldn't that makes this a 3.0?

          I was thinking of doing a minimal Arch install with Hyprland actually. I've done plenty of the standard Arch installations, happy to try out the installer again (have used before with a VM installation.) If this 2.6 installer gets released with the August ISO, I'll be good to go. I bet you are all happy to hear about this

            Does this support creating an install on btrfs with automatic snapper integration for packman / grub or similar on ZFS?

              The biggest issue with Arch and distros based on Arch is not the installer, it's that ridiculous AUR that results in broken systems at the drop of a hat.

                If you manage to break your system with an AUR-Package you are using it wrong. On multiple levels. Probably the System as well

                  It's not their fault that you don't understand what the aur is.
