Autumn will bring an end to an era….

Today is my 60th birthday, have decided that after ten years of working on ArchBang it is time to call it a day.

Early days of Arch

What I wanted to achieve was a simple easy way to try out Archlinux and maybe even allow someone to install Arch. Like to think that ArchBang led the way to allow other arch based distros to be created.

Come a long way from first installing arch twenty years ago to running a popular Openbox based distro.

Always thought of ArchBang as a hobby and I enjoy challenges and solving problems.

What happens next? I will keep blog up and running as long as I can. Isos will no longer be updated weekly any more. Source files I will leave up on gitlab but I do feel that abinstall is getting old, archinstall can do so much more and is fully maintained. If it could install without a network connection it would be a real winner 😉

To all my friends, users and supporters over the years I wish to thank you and wish you well for the future.

Not so much of an ending but maybe the start of something new…..

Stay safe 😉
