Archinstall 3.0.1, a guided TUI (Text User Interface) installer for Arch Linux that aims to simplify the setup process for new users while preserving the flexibility and control seasoned Linux users expect, has just been released.

Although this version might seem like a minor patch, it addresses several critical bugs and makes various improvements that ultimately provide a smoother experience for users installing Arch Linux.

In this patch release, the developers mainly focused on refining existing features and fixing bugs that surfaced with version 3.0. One significant area of focus was partition management.

In light of this, the default partition size creation bug was corrected, and several improvements were made to the way partitions are handled, including better logging of disk states and refining the naming conventions for partition flags (such as changing “Boot” to “BOOT”).

Other notable changes include addressing crashes when users attempted manual partition manipulations and fixing issues where installations would fail if certain user settings weren’t specified. In addition, the installation flow was tweaked to prevent errors related to hostname settings and to ensure proper handling of Btrfs mount options.
