​:gnu:​ ​:linux:​ GNU\Linux Just released distro: Ezarcher 2604-1 Ezarcher is a set of Arch-based live Linux distribution with a number of popular desktops, including Cinnamon, GNOME, KDE Plasma, LXQt, MATE and Xfce. All desktop environments are provided in their default upstream state, without any customisations. The distribution can be installed to a hard disk using either the text-mode "archinstall" method or the graphical Calamares system installer. Unlike Arch Linux which generally deploys the latest stable kernel, Ezarcher runs exclusively on the long-term supported variant of the Linux kernel. Besides the distribution, the project also offers build templates to guide users to customise and re-build their own live medium with one of the desktop environments on offer.
