Arch Linux Had A Great Year With Valve's Continued Backing, EndeavourOS & CachyOS Boost

The Arch Linux project appears to have enjoyed a rather robust and successful 2024 with Valve continuing to make use of it as a base for their SteamOS distribution and now engaging more with upstream Arch Linux

And then the continued improvements to Archinstall for an easy-to-use and quick installer and other enhancements overall made for a well-rounded year. Released today is Archinstall 3.0 that overhauls the Arch Linux installer with now using the curses library for rendering of the text interface. With this weekend's May 2024 ISO update, CachyOS has rolled out initial support for installing to a root file-system based on Bcachefs.
