From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's still CLI based, while Calamares is graphical, no?
I found archinstall to be very simple to follow, even though the whole thing is shown through the CLI, its basically just one page where you setup everything like partitions, boot, etc. Was a lot easier than I expected with the way everyone talks about it
My only difficulty with it was that I have too many disks and partitions and I didn't want to yeet the wrong one by mistake
Isn't it TUI? That's almost GUI in my opinion.
Yea, it is a very simple CLI based TUI. And I prefer this over GUI in this case, to be honest.
Archinstall is TUI, it's barely any more complicated than Calamares and gives pretty sane defaults and even the option to install DEs.
Sure, but do we call it archinstallOS, after installation?
I don't get your point. Should we call EndevourOS Arch as well by your logic?
Yes 🌚 but don’t take me serious 😂
