Archinstall 3.0.15 has been officially released, introducing a range of new features and enhancements that significantly improve the user experience of installing Arch Linux. This version includes smoother printing capabilities through CUPS installation support, enabling users to set up print servers effortlessly.
Additionally, the update simplifies the installation process for the "cosmic" rolling release, making it accessible to users with less command-line experience. Archinstall now employs a dynamic Zram configuration for memory management, enhancing performance right out of the box. Users also gain more control over their development environments, as the base-devel package is no longer installed by default.
The installation experience is further improved with a new timer for post-installation processes, allowing users to monitor progress easily. For those utilizing LVM, the installer now adjusts root partition size calculations to optimize space management. Bootloader installations on removable devices such as USB drives are now the default setting, streamlining the setup for users with multiple bootable media.
In terms of network management, optional IWD integration is now available alongside systemd-networkd and wpa_supplicant. The release also introduces Kurdish language support in the installer, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity. Bug fixes enhance reliability, addressing issues such as mirror list failures and symlink creation for /etc/resolv.conf.
The user interface has seen improvements as well, with a filtered menu system to help users find necessary options quickly. Additional enhancements include better file management, improved translations, and an updated documentation README for clearer guidance.
Overall, Archinstall 3.0.15 marks a significant step forward in usability, performance, and accessibility for Arch Linux users, with the development team expressing gratitude for user feedback and looking forward to continued improvements in the coming year.
Looking ahead, future updates may focus on expanding language support, refining user interfaces, and enhancing the overall functionality of the installer, ensuring that Arch Linux remains a strong choice for both new and experienced users seeking a customizable operating system
