Not sure what to think.

On the Archstrike web site, there was only one iso to download, 2021.12.31-x86_64. It is an installation dist. None of the other versions could be found, nor could a live iso or an ova image be located (as referred to on their wiki page). Looked at a variety of mirrors with the same result.

Installed, then updated the os (pacman -Syy followed by pacman -Syu.). After reboot, using the default admin account, tried to run a number of programs. None would run. Tried launching via the terminal with and without sudo and received responses that the programs could not be located.

Going to try a few more things, (reinstall, not updating and running as root) but not looking very promising at this stage of the game.
