Arch Linux's Archinstall No Longer Treating LVM-Based Installs As "Beta"

([Arch Linux] 3 Hours Ago Archinstall 3.0.10)


Arch Linux's convenient text-based OS installer "archinstall" is out with a new release today that promotes Logical Volume Manager (LVM) based installs no longer as "beta" quality.

Archinstall 3.0.10 is now available and most notable is removing the "beta" flag from the LVM install options. The [1]pull request removing the beta label from LVM on Archinstall had the comment last month:

"I think this has been soaking long enough to remove the (Beta) from the LVM menu entry"

To which Archinstall creator Anton Hvornum merged and commented:

"It's time to be brave! ^^"

In addition to LVM-based setup of Arch Linux no longer being marked as beta by Archinstall, Archinstall 3.0.10 also has a fix for PipeWire, disabling Btrfs snapshots when no subvolumes are defined, and other minor fixes.

struck by a truck and killed. About a week later his friend wakes up in
the middle of the night with a start because he can feel a presence in the
room. He calls out, "Who's there? Who's there? What's going on?"
"It's me -- Bob," replies a faraway voice.
Excitedly he sits up in bed. "Bob! Bob! Is that you? Where are
you?"
"Well," says the voice, "I'm in heaven now."
"Heaven! You're in heaven! That's wonderful! What's it like?"
"It's great, man. I gotta tell you, I'm jamming up here every day.
I'm playing with Bird, and 'Trane, and Count Basie drops in all the time!
Man it is smokin'!"
"Oh, wow!" says his friend. "That sounds fantastic, tell me more,
tell me more!"
"Let me put it this way," continues the voice. "There's good news
and bad news. The good news is that these guys are in top form. I mean
I have *never* heard them sound better. They are *wailing* up here."
"The bad news is that God has this girlfriend that sings..."
