  2. Double click on the Install icon form dekstop
  3. Select your installer language
  4. Agree to the Arch Linux Terms and Conditions

    5.1. If you have troubles finding your disk, use CTRL+ALT+T and type sudo fdisk -l to get the device where you want to install
  6. Confirm the install

  8. Reboot your machine. You can unplug your USB drive now
  9. The Setup will ask you to set:

Important:

  • The installer will WIPE the selected disk as soon as you press Continue in the Disk Selector window.
  • This build might be unstable.
  • Report all bugs here as an issue, or in DMs(instagram, discord, twitter) or by mail. To help improve pearOS quality, I need user's feedback!!

Note:

  • VirtualBox Guest Additions will be automatically installed after setup (if you are in VirtualBox)
    * I am not responsible of any data loss that may occour during the (failed) installation.

Roadmap

  • Develop the pearOS Desktop Environment (named Soda)
  • Switch to a GTK Desktop Environment until I finish developing the Soda DE(shortly: SDE)
  • Add a theme chooser in the post-install application
  • Add disks label under /dev/sdX so the users will identify disks more easy I'm too lazy to do this
  • Add error handling, so you will know when something goes wrong with the installer (added 'no internet' handler)
  • Add Refresh Disks button in the Disk Selector app
  • Pre-install gparted in the LIVE environment. Needed to format and manage boot disks
  • Develop piri
  • Develop auto-theme. It changes based on the TOD (Time Of the Day)
