x86_64 · 695 MiB · live image and installer
- a boot partition that failed to mount was ignored - the bootloader went into a directory on the root filesystem and the machine did not boot
- the compiler is on the image: clang and lld, no download first
- alpm speaks one language - add installs, rem removes, repo add adds a repository; ins and del are gone
- llvm shipped llvm-lit's count and not, which toybox owns, so anything needing mesa stopped on a conflict
- mesa and vulkan-loader install; graphics failed entirely before
- wireless waits for the link before asking for an address, and retries the lease
- the network you install over is carried into the installed system, beside the wired one
- arcticfetch is off the login, zsh loads autosuggestions only, and the boot banner is a rule rather than a row of punctuation

- the compiler is on the image - clang and lld, so it can build without downloading one first
- alpm speaks one language: add installs, rem removes, repo add adds a repository - ins and del are gone
- llvm shipped llvm-lit's count and not, which toybox owns, so installing anything needing mesa stopped dead
- mesa and vulkan-loader install now; graphics failed entirely before
- wireless waits for the link before asking for an address - a correct passphrase used to end in DHCP failed
- the network you install over is carried into the installed system, beside the wired one
- arcticfetch is off the login, and zsh loads autosuggestions and nothing else
- the boot banner is a rule and a title rather than a full-width row of punctuation

- alpm add installs and alpm rem removes
- alpm rem -a takes what the package left behind, -d its dependencies, -f forces it
- repositories are alpm repo add <url>
- mesa installed its drivers into /usr/lib64, which does not exist here - nothing could load them
- vulkan-loader is packaged; the drivers are of no use without it
- mesa declares the Vulkan and VA drivers it contains, so asking for vulkan-radeon resolves
- choosing nvidia says the proprietary driver is not packaged instead of installing nothing silently
- the old verbs - ins, del - still work

- an installed machine had an address and a route but no resolver, so every lookup failed
- wifi-connect scans, lists what is in range and takes the passphrase masked
- iw is on the image - nothing there could list a network before
- mesa 26.0.2 with the Intel drivers, which were missing entirely
- the Xfce 4.20 desktop, openbox and icewm are packaged
- initialization, the fork of nitro, is the default init
- the installer asks before writing a bootloader and names the partition
- nvidia and nouveau are configured, with a reboot notice

- the install runs end to end from the network repositories
- the live session could come up with no network at all
- lzo shipped no shared library, so mkfs.btrfs could not start
- the repository indexes were weeks out of date behind a CDN
- alpm system upgrade and alpm system fix
- toybox claimed 27 commands other packages own - the install stopped at /usr/bin/blkid
- wpa_supplicant pulled OpenSSL in beside libressl, leaving no curl and no NetworkManager
- the live image's wget was toybox's, which cannot speak https
