Am uploading a new iso image with updated packages and latest [well at this point!] kernel. If a new kernel comes into repos then I will of course update image. Couple of changes I have made.

Have built and uploaded iso image with latest kernel, mesa update [some users were having issues with it]. Also added Archinstall so if you wish to do a archlinux style install with a given window/desktop manager of your choice. Three things I may change abinstall is starting to show its age and I would like … Turning off the lights, well in the new year…
I am shocked at the number of downloads iso has had this week, an all time record. I look to get around 1000 downloads a week and that is quite high. This week alone was over 2000 downloads. So I am guessing I must be doing something right. As a thank you I have added … Thank you for your support….
Posting early this week as I have just seen downloads of release version. Over 1300 in just a few days, think a new record for ArchBang. Was installing ArchBang on a Chromebook the other day all was fine but did notice Alacritty terminal font looked a bit large and Openbox fonts looked small. Not had … Well I am shocked …..
Have just built and uploaded new iso image that is now running latest kernel 6.12. Had an interesting question in the week regarding showing window list.

I do not think Xfce4 version of ArchBang is really that popular. Many users prefer using ArchBang running Openbox.

Turns out issue was more to do with lxsession [something I am looking … Bringing ArchBang back to life….
I have added Openbox and Obconf to packages in ArchBangX. Old users of ArchBang do of course miss Openbox window manager. For now there is no configs or old setup under ArchBangX.
