Arch Linux

Arch Linux is a lightweight rolling-release distro aimed at advanced users who prefer a do-it-yourself approach. Installation is command-line-based, requiring manual configuration of partitions, networking, and packages. Once set up, Arch offers the latest software via the Pacman package manager and the AUR (Arch User Repository) for community builds. System maintenance involves frequent updates, but Arch’s wiki and community are robust. The minimalist approach gives users full control over packages, enabling a customized environment. While demanding, Arch appeals to power users seeking cutting-edge and total configurability.
