Whats coming in 2024…

Well been a busy year for ArchBang. Openbox to i3/Sway then back to Openbox. Wayland will take over from X11 at some point so an alternative window manager based on it will be needed. Wayland is to some a bit marmite, what I mean is some like it others hate it. While Sway worked I Whats coming in 2024…

Well it had to happen….

Arch has update to 6.6.8 kernel so I have rebuilt and uploaded a nice fresh iso image 😉 Once again Happy Xmas and Happy New year… Stay safe.

Small colour changes….

I was not totally happy with theme in current ArchBang iso. While I like the Nord colours it looked washed out against my background image. Also logout from Openbox menu looked terrible. So have darkened theme colour, changed active title to white and removed exitmenu from tint2. For some reason Cbatticon shows up in black Small colour changes….

We are at 6.6.7….

Well the holiday season is fast approaching and as usual I have got lots to do and little time to do it. Rebuilt iso using 6.7.7 kernel, so at least you are fully up to date. Lost £100 this week on Ebay, something I could do without at the moment. Item was not delivered and We are at 6.6.7….

Quick update to iso image…

Well as all things Arch a new kernel has arrived, so I built a fresh image. No other real changes. Have noticed iso image is a little larger so am checking ArchBang source files and I found old wallpaper and theme are still present. Well no harm done so next release will hopefully be a Quick update to iso image…

ArchBang Winter has arrived….

Been busy working on ArchBang winter release. New themes, colours [based on Nord], wallpaper and of course the logo has returned. No major changes but am putting this image out there as ‘rc’ iso. Need to test more but am happy with new look. Updated kernel 6.6.3 is also being shipped. With all things Arch ArchBang Winter has arrived….

Making life easier…

Do not know why I did not do this before but finally got around to adding Gparted to abinstall. While I live in terminal, setting up partitions and filesystems can be a nightmare for new and experienced users. GParted will come up as an option, you can of course still do a manual set up Making life easier…
