Version 0.2 is a massive improvement to the script and the result of more than a week of work.Here are the changes that got added in this release:

Development branch

Going forward,the latest changes to the script will be pushed to the dev branch,which will then be pushed to the master branch once a week or so.This way,you can see the latest changes to the script but you can still use the more stable version for more mission-critical installs.

New ways to install

TAIGA now features two installation types:
1.Express install: Let the installer detect your distro and GPU.When selecting the desktop environment,the script will choose the appropriate display manager for it.
2.Custom install: Pick all options manually.You can also skip some steps as you see fit.
In addition you can also trigger these modes by adding a letter after the script command:

  • s : Simulation mode-no changes will be done to the system
  • d : Debug mode-shows the commands and then runs them
  • r : Runs the script normally,same as with no arguments
  • h : shows this screen and exits

Also the script no longer needs to be run as root,but sudo will still be needed.More info on the readme.

Extra tasks

Whichever installation type you choose,you now have access to extra tasks you can perform for each distro like adding extra sources or installing recommended packages.More tasks will come soon.

More distros

The following distros are now supported on TAIGA:

  • Debian
  • Ubuntu
  • FreeBSD

Keep the following in mind:

  • I mostly added support for distros I am experienced with
  • DE support is inconsistent across distros,due to their repos
  • The Debian and Ubuntu installer are separate,so while the Debian installer will work just fine on Ubuntu,we recommend using the Ubuntu installer on Ubuntu installs as it includes many Ubuntu-specific improvements

Other changes

  • Added Pantheon support (for the distros that can install it)
  • Updated README
  • Fixed incorrect drivers for VMs
  • Fixed some installs failing due to installing too many packages at one time
