Carch Project Roadmap

Current Phase [ Advancing Script Development ]

The project is now progressing through its development phase, focusing on creating scripts to simplify the Arch Linux setup process. 🛠️

Upcoming Features and Improvements ✨

• Expand Functionality for Different Distributions 🌐

  • Add full support for popular distributions:
    • Arch (including Manjaro) 🖥️
    • Debian
    • Fedora
    • openSUSE
    • Void
  • Develop distribution-specific setup scripts.

• Enhance Script Stability 🔧

  • Refactor existing scripts for improved stability.
  • Implement error handling and logging for better debugging.

• Improve TUI (Text-based User Interface) 🎨

  • Enhance user experience with better navigation and visuals.
  • Add more themes and customization options.
  • Integrate user feedback for continuous improvement.

• Implement Additional Programming Languages

  • Add Rust implementations for performance-critical components.
  • Explore opportunities for parallel development in Rust.

• Add Window Manager (WM) Setup Scripts 🪟

  • Create and improve installation/setup scripts for more window managers (e.g., i3, Sway).
  • Include configuration options tailored for each WM.

• Core System Setup Scripts ⚙️

  • Develop beginner-friendly scripts for core system setup (e.g., package management, user configuration).
  • Include guides and documentation to assist new users.

• Enhance TUI with Rust 🦀

  • Transition the TUI implementation to Rust for improved performance and maintainability.
  • Leverage Rust's features to create a more responsive interface.
