HYPERV FIXES LAND, ARCHINSTALL COLORS INSTALL WARNINGS RED

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.

Action items

→ Rebuild hyperv-dependent systems if you track -rc or stable branches torvalds/linux [plan]
→ Update archinstall to get colored install preview and earlier network warnings archlinux/archinstall [plan]
→ Sync omarchy if disk usage tool is part of your base deployment basecamp/omarchy [monitor]
