Antergos Linux Has Been Discontinued

'An Arch Linux based distribution, Antergos, has been discontinued.
The project's primary goal was to make Arch Linux available to a wider
audience of users by providing a streamlined, user friendly experience
including a safe place for users to communicate, learn, and help one
another. There have been 931,439 unique downloads of Antergos Linux
since 2014. The primary reason for ending support for it was that the
developers no longer have enough free time to properly maintain the
distribution. They came to this decision because they believe that
continuing to neglect the project would be a huge disservice to the
community. Taking this action now, while the project's code still
works, provides an opportunity for interested developers to take what
they find useful and start their own projects.

For existing Antergos users: there is no need to worry about installed
systems as they will continue to receive updates directly from Arch.
Soon, an update will be released that will remove the Antergos repos
from system along with any Antergos-specific packages that no longer
serve a purpose due to the project ending. Once that is completed, any
packages installed from the Antergos repo that are in the AUR will
begin to receive updates from there. The Antergos Forum and Wiki will
continue to be available until such time it becomes clear that users
have moved on to other projec'
