  • Please for the love of god host the files elsewhere, megaupload, google drive.. ANYWHERE but sourceforge, downloads are dog slow 170kbps on a 300Mbps connection. I'd love to give this a go but waiting over 5 hours for a download to complete? I think not.
  • Now it actually works. Even with manual disk partitioning, everything works fine. Thanks for the work. Xfce keeps going to sleep even when everything is turned off in the power manager. I looked at the dconf settings and the reason for the blocking was there. Everything works fine. Thanks again for your work.

    New ISOs and project files are available. I reverted to Calamares 3.3.14, and bios/MBR installs appear to work again, at least when using the entire drive and not manual partitioning. Thanks for the feedback.
  • Outstanding work! Congratulations.
  • I've been using Ezarcher since its inception. Makes installing Arch simpler and comes with tools that automate a few tasks. Works really well, I've used it happily for a long time now. I've had few issues along the way but those that have cropped up are the sorts of things you are going to find with any Arch or Arch based distro. We all know Arch can be temperamental, at times. Recently moved from Plasma to Cinnamon (KDE 6 does not play nice with my hardware). Enjoying it a lot. So in short, I recommend Ezarcher . I believe its a one person effort too, which makes it even more impressive. Well done.

    Thank you for your continued use and recommendation. This is a one man project, so sometimes the releases are haphazard, but I try to fix problems quickly and update the ISOs regularly.
  • Easy way to install a solid vanilla arch with excellent configs. And you can learn a lot studying the included scripts and docs.
  • An excellent project. I highly recommend you give it a try. You might learn something. :) Thank Eznix
  • A nice project which allow you to install Arch easily. I like it!
  • I'm not sure what's causing the problem, but it seems like themes like Ventura by www.pling.com/p/1973337 aren't generating the bottom dock. Other than that, your ISO guide is great! It's not intimidating as the Arch ISO can be. Best of luck with future updates.
  • Gave this a spin only to find key features missing. No System Settings applet for Wallet so one can adjust it's settings or simply disable it. Had tha add the applet myself. KDE released some updates that cause at least three issues. I created a thread about one on the KDE forums and want to post screenshots and when I went to do a screen capture found out not only was Specacle not installed as it should be, but no screen capture software was installed. Now I have Specacle installed but can't figure out how to get it to activate when I press FN + Print Scr. I honestly would not recommend this Arch spin to anyone. There was no whining and you f***in know it. Don't be a f***in child. You left out features that should of been in your distro and instead of admitting you messed up you tell me i'm whining.

    pacman -S kwallet kwalletmanager spectacle -- That would solve your problems. Not sure what all the whining is about. What's the problem? The entire review is a whine fest. So you had to install kwalletmanager and spectacle? Two optional packages. I agree that the two packages should be there, and have been added. But to insult the project over two packages that can be added in under a minute?
  • Does what it is supposed to do. And thanks for introducing me to the tizen AUR helper.
  • Simple and effective like a bulldozer. I've been using KDE version on an older laptop without any problems for half a year now and it became my favourite Arch-based distro. Pros 1 - It's Arch 2 - Easy to install 3 - Almost none of the bloat* 4 - Active developer/maintainer 5 - Author is a nice gentleman *bloat to me, for example, is Filezilla and printer support Cons 1 - There were beeping sounds in Grub and while Powering Off (but I don't think they are there anymore either by my doing or by updating the packages) 2 - A bit hard to troubleshoot when it comes to laptop compatibility (very rare occurence, I get it). For example, I have a Lenovo Legion 5 (2020) laptop with AMD and a dedicated NVIDIA graphics card and an external monitor. Connecting the monitor and getting the image to be displayed is not a trivial task on any arch distro in my experience. For me it doesn't work here too. I'd like to see and hear more from eznix, his videos helped me through some very hard times (real life related, not just Linux).

    Thank you for the reviews on both project pages. I appreciate the time and effort to post on both sites. I am happy to hear you are having a good experience with Ezarch. Thanks again. :-)
  • I think this is the best way to have a live ArchLinux medium. I'm french and with the Templates I've modify the Plasma version to get a french ISO and to add gVim and GParted. It's a lot of work and I appreciate it; continue your great work!

    Thank you for the review. I am happy to see you take advantage of the build process and customize your own ISO. Best wishes. :-)
  • Hi Eznix. I install Arch from the terminal usually because I can add options to the sub volumes I create in btrfs file system. I know the installation process by heart. That was until I started following you on you tube and tried your ezarcher calamares installer. Out of all the installers I tried, and I tried a lot, yours is the only one that does not have errors and works every time. It is also highly cutomizable and I love it. It is by far the BEST Arch Linux installer. Keep up the good work. You are the best.

  • Awesome project! Arch install done the easy way with a simple to follow script. Great how-to YouTube videos: Search Eznix. Also used the .iso of Gnome and it installed without a hitch. How it would be nice for youto upload an updated version of Gnome Desktop :) A must for enthusiasts! Thank you for your hard work.
