Arch Linux is an independently developed, x86_64-optimised Linux distribution targeted at competent Linux users. It uses 'pacman', its home-grown package manager, to provide updates to the latest software applications with full dependency tracking. Operating on a rolling release system, Arch can be installed from a CD image or via an FTP server. The default install provides a solid base that enables users to create a custom installation. In addition, the Arch Build System (ABS) provides a way to easily build new packages, modify the configuration of stock packages, and share these packages with other users via the Arch Linux user repository.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 69 (166), 6 months: 69 (178), 3 months: 71 (181), 4 weeks: 69 (187), 1 week: 71 (176)

Average visitor rating: 9.22/10 from 255 review(s).

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)

To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.

Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.

Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

i use arch as my daily driver, 3rd linux distro that i've used, probably gonna use it for a while, lmao.

I don't understand why people say that arch is unstable. i've had more issues with debian than with arch (although that might have been because of the gnome desktop in general or because it was my first linux distro, idk). pacman is officially my favourite package manager ever, and I prefer rolling releases over other versioning systems.

i also liked the installation, where you could either do it manually or with archinstall. this helped me only install the packages that I wanted, and so I didn't have to remove a lot of unnecessary packages like i've done with other distros.

note for new people, don't let people look down on you for not doing a manual installation and using archinstall instead. the manual installation is basically just you following a set of instructions (cool, but like plz don't be elitist???) and it only gives you a little bit more control over the installation; arch install comes with enough options anyway. so, if you don't feel comfortable with the manual installation, just use archinstall. it's not going to make you less of an arch user or whatever.

SUMMARY

pros:
- rolling-release (pro for some, con for others, this is just how I feel)
- pacman
- the aur
- minimal install
cons:
- not a lot of packages in the official repos (but fixed by the aur!)
- not a technical issue, but the community's kinda toxic.....
- even with all the choice, it doesn't give you choice of init system (not very important for me, I don't care THAT much, but still. if this is an issue for you, artix is arch but with 4 different non-systemd init options)

overall, 9/10 because of the community and the init system thing.

I was a Fedora user for a while. I still have it installed on my personal PC and daily drive it. I installed Arch on my 12yo son's and 10yo daughter's low powered laptops and absolutely love it. I am planning on replacing Fedora with Arch on all my systems. Contrary to what many of the Youtube personalities say about Arch, I have experienced literally ZERO stability issues. I have had more issues with Fedora to be honest. I am using KDE and everything works really well. No issues with the laptop's ability to sleep on lid close - yes, I am bringing this specific issue up because I dealt with this in Fedora. I think it's on all of us to change the narrative that Arch is a hard distro to install and use. This may have been true at a point in the past but that is not the case anymore. I think I've found my forever distro!

My 10 year Arch anniversary. Same GNOME installation.
I use it primarily for gaming and recording my gameplay for Youtube playthroughs. For some reason, Arch uses about half the amount on a cold boot than any distro I've seen (next to Solus.) It boots the fastest and has the least issues. Over the years the package count has only gone up a little bit (I think it started at 750, now it's around 800 from dependencies.) I clear the cache on a monthly basis, deal with pacnews promptly, and always watch closely as pacman updates. It simply just stays working. Something I cannot say for my distrohopping days pre-Arch, even with the "preconfigured" "user friendly" distros.
