TIL there's a fork of the unmaintained p7zip port of 7-Zip
The p7zip port of 7-Zip is several releases behind and the project seems to be abandoned. I discovered this when a large archive failed to extract with Engrampa which uses it. It reported a "Headers Error" which is due to a compatibility problem between zip format implementations. 7-Zip has a fix but the port doesn't. But there's a fork on GitHub which is being actively maintained. Check it out.

I made a terminal utility to monitor some system stats. Was wondering if you guys know of anything better or if I should continue dev work on it since we need it?
Linux mint mate has something called "System Monitor" that is a running graphical plot of system activity. http://www.mate-desktop.org It is by the Mate developers. Very nice. It is similar to the windows monitor.

What compression tool you mainly use?
I use Engrampa. Which archive format I use depends on the use case. For example, if Windows users are involved, I usually use Rar archives. Under Linux, I usually use tar.xz.

Archinstall ntp non servers?
In any case, have you studied https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archinstall and https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall. While archinstall is new and has the expected bugs, I've not had your issues before. You might try an earlier ISO, like Oct 2023, though it's not clear if you're using an ISO or the archinstall installed package.

Trusted GUI installer to install pure ArchLinux ?
I'm using my laptop as dual boot between Manjaro and Windows 10, I tried for months to install ArchLinux using archinstall tool but the operation always fails with random errors, because I want to install it on a single ext4 partition like how Manjaro is installed. Is there any trusted GUI installer that uses calamares and can install pure ArchLinux ?

Endeavor vs Vanilla arch?
The related issue https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1111 implies it's fixed, but either way, you can just securely delete your password after the install.

grub-install needed after GRUB package gets updated?
Mount that partition as /efi. Change this in your /etc/fstab as well. This is a good time to remove all the weird carriage returns that archinstall puts in your fstab file (https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1399).

Steam On Linux Use Ticked Higher In May, 25% Of Linux Gamers Are Using The Steam Deck
Most distros have a nice graphical installer which does make things less of a hassle. But these days Arch also bundles archinstall which is quite easy to use and supports a few display environments for automatic setup right out the gate which is nice.

Distro Hopping
Or just use archinstall which is official part of the iso file.

Is setting /boot to a separate partition a mandatory in archinstall ?
You can post an issue at: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall to get the attention of the developer. He's represented here but I forget his user id.

Plz help I'm trying Archinstall in virtual box but is not working
If you're still suffering with this problem: Maybe try to find the file/module on your system. If it's present, you might want to try to run this pacman -Sy python archinstall (found it here: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/1810) to reinstall python and the archinstall script. I hope that this helps you.

Does Archinstall have any downsides?
Still feels that it is in rapid development phase, rather than just maintenance, last month I encountered this bug
- Arch installation claims archinstall doesn't exist 😂😂😂 What a joke of an OS!
