ArchEX BUILD 241128 with LXQt 2.1, Calamares Installer 3.3.12 and kernel 6.12.1-arch-1

Leave a comment

I’ve made a new extra version of ArchEX with the LXQt 2.1 Desktop Environment. LXQt 2.1 was released 241105. LXQt is a lightweight Qt desktop environment. It will not get in your way. It will not hang or slow down your system. It is focused on being a classic desktop with a modern look and feel. I’ve also managed to install Calamares Installer from source in ArchEX LXQt. It means that you can install ArchEX LXQt in any language. Everything will then be in your chosen language when the installation has completed.

Study all installed packages in ArchEX LXQt…

RaspArch Build 240302 for Raspberry Pi 5 and Raspberry Pi 4
RaspArch is a “ready-to-go” ARM (aarch64/arm64) system. It can only run on a Raspberry Pi 5 or Raspberry Pi 4 computer.  All included packages have been updated to the latest version as of 240302. The Desktop Environment is LXQt 1.4.

A member on RaspEX wrote this about an old version of RaspArch: I’ve used Slackware, Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu & Arch. I prefer Arch. Ubuntu is easier to install, Arch is easier to keep up to date. You do not go through big, painful, changes every year instead you just update, once in a while, make changes if instructed. Arch has most of the benefits of Gentoo without the pain of recompiling _everything_. When you do need to build a package in Arch its painless especially if you use one of the tools that support AUR (I like Yaourt). Arch avoids the politics of Debian and Ubuntu and delivers a great Linux distribution. RaspArch now brings these advantages to the Pi 2.

ArchEX 2025 (Arch Linux) Live with KDE Plasma 6.2.3-1, kernel 6.12.1-arch-1 and Calamares Installer 3.3.12 :: Build 241124

ABOUT ArchEX 2025 Build 241124
I’ve made a new extra version of ArchEX with KDE Plasma 6.2.3-1 – latest version released 241105. Plasma is made to stay out of the way as it helps you get things done. But under its light and intuitive surface, it’s a powerhouse. So you’re free to choose ways of usage right as you need them and when you need them. This ArchEX version uses kernel 6.12.1-arch-1. ArchEX can very easy be installed to hard drive (if you want) with Calamares Installer version 3.3.12 (latest). Installed (by me) from source. Finally.

Replacement
This ArchEX version replaces version 240509 and 240106.

Study all installed packages in ArchEX 2025 with KDE Plasma 6.2.3-1.

How To dual boot, triple boot or multi boot Linux with Windows in a simple way and be happy
Before installing ArchEX or any other Linux system my general installation instructions may be of interest.

Rolling distribution
Arch Linux/ArchEX are rolling distributions, which implies that once you have installed the system on the hard drive there is no need for re-installations (which otherwise is common in the Linux world).

WHO should run Arch Linux?
My answer: The system fits the “advanced” Linux user/enthusiast, who would be willing to run an occasional command from time to time.

BENEFITS of ArchEX/Arch Linux
“Cutting Edge”-software and speed. You will for example always run the latest kernel if you upgrade ArchEX/Arch (for example) every month.
