ArchBang ISO Released – 2026-07-05 (Kernel 7.1)

Well ArchBang since Wednesday’s release has had over a thousand downloads, which is amazing thank you 😉

Arch has released kernel 7.1 so have updated iso image to run it, other than that it is just packages updates.

Still working on arch-browser-installer, more about theme and more testing. Hope to include a new version next week.

Meantime I need to find a virtual machine manager that works. Gnome-boxes is easy and does run most iso images I throw at it, however under Wayland is cannot capture my keyboard presses so nothing really works unless I use mouse. Might look at a sane qemu setup or virt-manager but most it is overkill for basic testing.

Have updated sourceforge with latest screenshots and meta data, also iso image is now in ArchBANG folder. Will get around to posting on kofi.

As always any feedback, comments or suggestions are welcome.

Stay safe.
