Manjaro Architect: Developers of Manjaro Linux announced release release Manjaro 17.0.1-rc1 Xfce, which brings for the first time an advanced CLI installation program to popular distribution.
Manjaro Architect is a CLI installer, meaning it does not need or provide a real GUI for installation. All packages for the system should be downloaded from thenetwork during installation and will not install from the compressed files contained in the ISO.
Compared to traditional Calamares installer with a graphical environment, the new CLI installer has some obvious advantages:
- The ISO of the installation is much smaller, reaching about 500MB.
- You will only have to download the packages that will be installed and only those, and you have to be sure that it will always be in the last available version.
- The same CLI installer can be used to install any surface environment work you wish. Even the CLI installer itself will be updated and use its latest version when the ISO is booted.
- The options for your own customizations are virtually limitless. You are free to choose the kernel or kernels, drivers, init system, desktop (or no desktop) and any other packages you wish, with very detailed settings parameters according to your preferences.
- At the same time, if you prefer, you can use the automatic εγκατάσταση drivers μέσω του Manjaro Hardware Detection and access the pre-configured profiles supported by the Manjaro releases to install an environment that will be identical in configuration to what you will get from the distribution's large ISOs.
Let us mention that the efforts of Manjaro Linux developers have not gone unnoticed by the free software community.
Before some time ago we mentioned that distribution went through openSUSE in the DistroWatch ranking list and Ubuntu has recently passed.
