The first result of calamares net installer

The config url: GitHub - dmknght/calamares-settings-netinst: Netinstall configurations
Device: Gigabyte G5 KE
Quick result: Installed fine, the target system takes 4.6gb (xfce, firefox and some other packages). LUKS worked fine with encrypted /boot.
What’s not good:

  • Missing some packages. It’s not critical but still not good
  • Meta package is bad. It installed too many unecessary packages that took at least 1gb storage
  • The current setting is still WIP. Too many packages are missing from selectable list

What doesnt work:

  • External monitor using Nvidia-driver doesn’t work. It’s hardware / driver problem rather than installer’s problem
  • G5 KE uses Intel Wifi 6e ax2111. The wireless doesn’t work in neither live mode nor after installation. I had to use tethernet connection from phone, and install the i915 firmware manually. The file is at q3aql / drivers-linux-firmware · GitLab

What to expect:
A fully (or almost) customizable installer
