ArchBang has been Openbox based for over ten years. Over the next few weeks I will be working towards switching to i3 tiling window manager. May well run i3-gaps as I do not want to scare users into a my minimal setup 😉 Keybinds will change for some things, nothing dramatic and quite easy to … Time for a change
Had to happen I upload an iso and the very next day kernel gets updated. In the process of getting Archiso up to date again. For next iso I will go ‘beta’ until I can fully test it. I think I have got everything working but you never know. So bear with me, will of … Once again a kernel/archiso update

Uploading a new up to date iso. Only minor changes this week to give a more green theme 😉 Have had some questions about persistence in ArchBang, archiso does support it but it is limited and is a little awkward to set up. Hoping to test over the weekend to see how difficult it is … Another week another iso
Uploaded yesterday a new iso and lo and behold Arch updated its kernel overnight. Am rebuilding as I type. After watching DistroTube on you tube was thinking of bringing back compton (picom) for a bit of eye candy. Certainly his green theme interested me 😉 Feel free to contact me if you have any issues … October Iso
Another week, new iso. Been getting my old laptop setup with Windows 10. Only took two hours to create usb and install.

I quickly reached for my ArchBang usb stick and booted into Openbox and started digging around trying to find … Update the update
I have been working on ArchBang for nearly ten years now, quite a few changes in that time. Project was started by Willextreme who created iso and installer. I would visit the AB forums and make a nuisance of myself. Was always interested in how isos worked and were created. Will then had commitments with … History Lesson
So I have built and uploaded a new beta based on current archiso scripts, will need testing…. Currently having issues with VirtualBox (freezing system) so can only really test under Qemu. Still shipping with Netsurf browser as Firefox is HUUUGGGEEE!!! so iso is now around 800Mbs. ArchBang as it stands has not really changed much … Beta uploaded, test test test!
Have been slowly getting new Archiso scripts working with ArchBang. They use a profile rather than build script to create Arch media.
