Determine the disk the installer is on and ignore it when running lsblk to list selectable format disks.

Some AUR libraries to add (what for again?):

Replace PACKER env var with auto-detection via [ $(dmidecode | grep -c VirtualBox) -gt 0 ]
Use the latest successful packer build to try out sway and wayland packages as an alternative to openbox
transition from root systemd launched transmission to user-space specific; this eliminates future collisions and permission issues

Research whether we can add SIGINT support to terminal login (like Debian) to cancel quickly after typo

attempt to transition to sway and wayland
replace virtualbox with kvm?
experiment with fcitx-mozc for IME support
try out alternative file browsers with these goals:
- image thumbnail support, including webp
- folder thumbnails!!!
Suggested FB:
- Dolphin
  - requires generic package with options thus conflicting automated install...
- Nautilus
- Thunar
  - same theme support as pcmanfm, so far looks great!
  - no support for webp even with custom thumbnailer; may require a reboot?
  - need to rewrite directory thumbnailer
investigate libfm/pcmanfm plugins/enhancements to:
- support directory thumbnails
  - https://github.com/gcavallo/pcmanfm-covers
  - https://sourceforge.net/p/pcmanfm/bugs/1020/
- support webp thumbnails, including animated webp
  - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/webp-thumbnailer/
try out i3 window manager
try out docky as a combined replacement for gmrun and tint2
experiment with tint2 alternatives (menubar):
- dzen
- lemonbar
- polybar
- yabar
- i3blocks
- stalonetray
experiment with notification services (I don't use one personally):
- dunst
- statnot
- twmn
experiment gmrun alternatives (launchers; would love one that can do math):
- rofi
- albert
- dmenu
- kupfer

I'd like to look into replacing startx and xinit with systemd unit file to launch the desktop on-demand.

Looks like the systemd approach does work with minor caveats. So long as I can work with those I think this would be an excellent choice.

This requires the dex package to launch .desktop files from the command line.

notes

Low level terminal package differs on debian making SIGINT login cancellation not possible on Arch without modifying and compiling said package.
