The crew behind the Arch Linux derived Antergos operating system have updated their official installation media.

The big changes with this updated install media is using the new Cnchi v0.8.0 installer and defaulting to GNOME 3.16 for the desktop experience.

For those not looking for a full-blown desktop experience powered by GNOME 3.16, the Antergos Minimal Install Image has been updated and is out at under 500MB.
