archinstall's "Copy ISO network configuration", which a user who connected
with iwctl may pick, turns on iwd and systemd-networkd. CoreDesktop then
turns on NetworkManager too, and after a restart two services fight over
the Wi-Fi card. system/wifi.sh disables iwd and systemd-networkd, without
stopping them, when NetworkManager is enabled and isn't set to use iwd
itself. install.sh runs it, and a migration runs it on existing machines.
The README tells users to choose NetworkManager in archinstall.

Nothing in CoreDesktop uses LaTeX, and the texlive group is 22 packages
and about 3 GB. The migration removes it once, keeping any package from
the group that something else still needs as a dependency.

CoreDesktop installed it to build cline-desktop, which cline-desktop-bin
has since replaced, so machines installed before kept it where a fresh
install has none. Found by 30-upgrade-from-baseline at 0c0ddf5.

New machines get VSCodium alone. A migration uninstalls the VS Code
Flatpak once on existing machines; its settings stay in ~/.var/app. The
README says how to install VS Code for extensions only Microsoft's
marketplace has, such as Remote-SSH; update then leaves it alone.

install.sh now stops early, with a clear message, if this isn't 64-bit
Arch, it's run as root, there's no internet, or sudo doesn't work.
system/preflight.sh then asks before going on with too little disk space
or / not on btrfs, and offers to switch another login screen to GDM and
PulseAudio to PipeWire. Keeping another login screen puts GDM in
services-off, so install and update stop failing to enable it; a
migration does the same on existing machines. It says nothing when all
is well, as refresh runs install.sh again.
Intel GPUs also get intel-media-driver for hardware video decoding, with
a migration for existing machines.
The mise migration links ~/.local/bin/mise to /usr/bin/mise instead of
deleting it, so shells opened before the update don't print an error at
every prompt.
