Archinstall, a guided user-friendly TUI installer for Arch Linux with menu-driven setup, providing a semi-automated alternative to the traditional manual Arch installation process, has just rolled out version 3.0.11.
One of the key improvements is better alignment with systemd recommendations. A quick fix was added to ensure Archinstall runs correctly and enables systemd services in a manner that aligns with the systemd project’s own recommendations for handling them.
Storage support also gets attention as the F2FS parameters now require the extra_attr option, which addresses compatibility issues with how the filesystem is configured during installation.
On the security side, Archinstall updates its cryptography package dependency to version 45.0.7. In addition, the release cleans up outdated references, such as removing a link to an older demo video, and introduces a graceful fallback when DMI data isn’t available in sysfs.
For more information, see the changelog.
Archinstall 3.0.11 is expected to land in the upcoming October update to the Arch installation ISO. However, if you’re using an older ISO, you can easily update Archinstall (before launching it) to its latest version by running pacman -S archinstall after the ISO boots.
