HYPERV FIXES LAND, ARCHINSTALL COLORS INSTALL WARNINGS RED
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Linux
Kernel pulled hyperv driver repairs overnight while archinstall moves critical network warnings into the install preview where users actually see them.
The mainline kernel merged hyperv fixes [1] addressing MSHV driver stability across multiple subsystems, plus VMBus unload improvements that clear the frame buffer before shutdown. Simultaneously, crypto picked up an s390 random config build fix [2] that unblocks automated builds on that architecture. On the distro side, archinstall shipped a major preview redesign [3] that color-codes the install summary in red for errors, yellow for warnings, and green when ready to proceed. This moves the network warning out of a post-confirmation dialog into the live preview where users see it while still configuring, not after they've already committed. Basecamp's omarchy replaced the dust disk usage tool with dua-cli [4], gaining interactive navigation speed without losing the TUI experience.
