Okay so the arch iso aint booting on my system
https://github.com/flying-dude/efly This one does its job. Alternatively if the last Arch ISO doesn't work download the second to last or third to last, it doesn't change much for a "normal" installation

efly: Testing the New ROM Image
I have overhauled the efly project to include a rom image, that works similar to a traditional iso image. All packages and config files are placed on a read-only squashfs. And via overlayfs, changes are written to a tmpfs and kept until you reboot or power down.

I strictly followed the ArchWiki, but I can't get TigerVNC to work on my EndeavourOS
i preserved the old script here and it still works just fine. no idea why they don't allow this anymore.

Tutorial: How to Flash a USB Stick?
For my efly live system project I created a little writeup on how to correctly place a raw disk image on a USB stick, so that you can boot an operating system from the stick. It is very newbie-friendly but also touches on some advanced subjects like block devices and hardware firmware.

Firefox vs Chromium
the results of this poll. :)
i am currently working on a linux live system and chose to ship it with chromium preinstalled. however, i talked to a bunch of people and a lot of them actually prefer firefox. so to get some actual data, i decided to make a poll.

testing: increased file system storage for the efly live system
modern desktop systems quite often have 64GB of ram or more available. but the efly live system (repo here) had a very conservative restriction of just 256MB for the copy-on-write virtual file system.
