Arch Linux's Archinstall No Longer Treating LVM-Based Installs As "Beta"

Written by Michael Larabel in Arch Linux on 2 September 2025 at 09:12 AM EDT. 8 Comments
Arch Linux's convenient text-based OS installer "archinstall" is out with a new release today that promotes Logical Volume Manager (LVM) based installs no longer as "beta" quality.

Archinstall 3.0.10 is now available and most notable is removing the "beta" flag from the LVM install options. The pull request removing the beta label from LVM on Archinstall had the comment last month:
"I think this has been soaking long enough to remove the (Beta) from the LVM menu entry"

To which Archinstall creator Anton Hvornum merged and commented:
"It's time to be brave! ^^"

In addition to LVM-based setup of Arch Linux no longer being marked as beta by Archinstall, Archinstall 3.0.10 also has a fix for PipeWire, disabling Btrfs snapshots when no subvolumes are defined, and other minor fixes.
