Calamares

Distro- and desktop-independent installer

Calamares is a distro- and desktop-agnostic installer. Developed as an installer for Linux distributions – dozens of them – it is modular and highly configurable. It can be used as an installer for FreeBSD- based distributions as well, though it needs extensive configuration which is not included in the port yet.

Upstream tracking of what still needs tweaking can be found at https//github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1795
