Key files

etc/calamares/settings.conf

Symlink — points to either ../calamares-offline/settings.conf or ../calamares-online/settings.conf, set by calamares-next.sh.

etc/calamares-online/settings.conf

Two packagechooser instances:

• packagechooser@init — init system (Dinit, OpenRC, Runit, S6) via netinstall-add
• packagechooser@desktop — DE selection via legacy method

etc/calamares-online/modules/packagechooser_init.conf

Init selector config. Uses method: netinstall-add — the selected init pulls its associated packages.

etc/calamares-online/modules/packagechooser_desktop.conf

DE selector config. Uses method: legacy — returns the selected DE as a global storage value.

etc/calamares-offline/settings.conf

No packagechooser. Uses unpackfs to deploy a pre-built KDE Plasma squashfs.

usr/share/applications/calamares-config-switcher.desktop

Has NoDisplay=true to hide it from the app menu. The upstream Artix “Install Artix Linux” entry is suppressed this way.
