Arch Linux

Minimalism So Extreme It Becomes Suffering

Arch Linux is a lightweight, flexible distribution that lets you build your system exactly the way you want.

Starting from absolutely nothing, you will manually assemble your operating system piece by piece, like a digital IKEA chair that occasionally deletes your bootloader.

$ pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
:: Starting full system upgrade...
error: system broke
solution: read wiki

Features

DIY Operating System

Other distros install things for you. Arch gives you a blinking cursor and says "good luck".

The Wiki

The Arch Wiki contains the knowledge of the entire Linux universe. Unfortunately you will read all of it.

Pacman

The fastest package manager alive. Also the fastest way to accidentally remove your entire desktop environment.

The AUR

User generated packages written by strangers on the internet. What could possibly go wrong?

Rolling Release

Your system updates constantly. You are basically beta testing Linux.

Terminal Supremacy

If you open a GUI you will be judged.
