Archcraft is a minimal Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. The project provides a graphical user interface using minimal window managers rather than full featured desktop environments. Archcraft is installed using the Calamares system installer and includes the yay package manager to facilitate fetching software from the Arch User Repository.

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.

really, really good distro, i am still new to linux, but this works for me, i am using the openbox edition and i love it, i learnt how to do a few things via youtube, archcraft website, for pacman issues, and from looking at adityas config files once i had learnt form distrotube on youtube what ones to use and so on, everything is working well, it is fast in use, i installed my own media player, vlc by choice rather than the one that ships with archcraft, and i also after a small time purchased the premium openbox config by aditya, it all works so well, i love it, really, much more interesting than windows though i will, i think always keep my windows machine as well... best of both worlds, i tried lots of distros but this one suits me the best and is the most enjoyable of all of them, top marks to aditya the dev and i hope he gets all the support he needs to keep this very special distro, quality distro going being as by his own admission at the moment he is sort of a one man band, without doubt archcraft is best in class in my opinion,
In my opinion, this is one of the best linux distributions for everyday use (internet, multimedia, etc.). My favorite graphical environment of this distro is XFCE. The system is stable and very fast. It is also very easy to configure. My wifi connection is stable, no so far i have problems with the sound or graphics. This system can work for me without any problems for 5 hours without a break and nothing breaks down. I personally recommend this system even to less advanced linux users.In my opinion, this is a distribution worthy of interest.
This is my favorite linux distro. In my opinion, it is the best system for browsing the internet and multimedia. The only problem I have is intermittent sound via bluetooth when connecting a smartphone, but the rest works great. It is a Rolling Realase system, so once installed it updates without the need to reinstall when a new version of the system is released. The LXDE version of the system is very light, consumes little RAM and is very stable despite frequent updates. After a month of use I had no problem with it. Timeshift works in this system without any problems if it gets a full snapshot of the system. The system itself takes up very little disk space and I generally recommend it for the typical user be it Desktop or Laptop.
