Have updated iso this week, more to bring kernel up to date. Am taking a short break next week so after that I will start working on upcoming beta release. ArchBang will include i3 tiling window manager [as a second WM option]. Have [no idea why!] used my own personal config to use in beta … Quick update and beta changes
No iso update this week, going to wait for 5.13 to hits main repos. Looking to switch out dmenu for rofi, have found a nice looking config but need to theme it. Going to hold off i3 window manager in ArchBang until autumn release. Have not decided if I will keep tint2 over i3status, the … Waiting for a new kernel
Was thinking the other day abut when I started to use linux. At that time I was using Gnome, had the icons on the desktop and pointed and clicked everything. Being n an old pc (think it was 266Mhz) it of course was slow. Had read a lot about Openbox and how fast and light … Workflow
Have quite a few things on my todo list but one thing that is bothering me at the moment is I am thinking of switching ArchBang too i3 window manager. Not used Openbox for well over 5 years now as my daily window manager. While I still use a mouse for surfing the web, most … Another week a new iso…

This wiped out my 32bit build virtual machine. So had to think fast, reinstall archbang32. Drag in archbang source files. Modify them to work … 32bit iso Fail….
Another week another iso. Mostly updates nothing more. Do have to update archiso and add some more to openbox config. Been testing out ArchCraft. Very slick and beautiful to look at, Openbox never looked better. Over the years I had removed the pipe menus that came with ArchBang in its early days. Check out ArchBang … Upcoming changes and a blast from the past!
After updating my system I noticed that pacman 6 has been released. Thought it would be nice to bring iso up to date so everyone can try it out. Will remove alpha release… Enjoy 😉
