I need to ask CalmStorm here for if you're an admin of Hyperbola, that you will help Hyperbola to generalize the system as well as Parabola, PureOS, Devuan, Trisquel. Are you also willing to help us to succeed this?
Preferred desktop session is Xfce, login mgt is SDDM, web browser is Epiphany, graphical installer is Calamares or Refracta. :)

I think adding a graphical installer would be the first thing to do to make Hyperbola more user-friendly and more suited for the average user.

Sure, installing from the command line is a great way to learn how a system works. But it takes time and energy if you're not used to it - this may not be a problem when you have enough free time and energy, but it is a problem for people that have to work 40 hours per week and want to spend time with their family as well.

Manjaro is a good example of a user-friendly Arch derivative. In particular, it has a graphical installer. Unfortunately Manjaro includes proprietary software, so it should not be used, but it would be great if the graphical installer and some of Manjaro's other features could make their way into Hyperbola and Parabola.

So I’m now going to make some Parabola OpenRC complete mini installers, such as Hyperbola ones. :)
Parabola complete graphical installers was also present, but I’ve never removed them, if I remove them then they were over.

I heard the Parabola image with Calamares graphical installer and systemd can't be installed with full disk encryption; Calamares shows this option, but I heard people saying it won't install correctly when the FDE-option is chosen.

Can you confirm this?
