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. Was this review helpful?

Archcraft really does many things right when we seek for a minimal but yet very visually and coherent polished experience. Switching skins on the fly in Openbox and you can see how the theming is handled in a superior way compared to KDE. The nuances of the theming shine and you have control over element like the shadows to make them more suddle. Some themes maximize a lot screen space availability with compact elements. Its appreciable for power users who bring many elements at once or work on small screens (retro screens, small laptop users can appreciate). Having little bloat installed out of the box offer an increased stability. (updates integrates smoothly and can be delayed further). The distro pushes you to get familiar with the usual terminal commands, once learned you enjoy the speed and enhanced control over your system. Then the provided other WM allow for a quick transition into a keyboard centric navigation workflow. This way of using the system doesn't fit very well my graphic designer use case but it teaches me what become more advantageous that way. Archcraft is used as a learning and transitioning OS for those curious to discover the beauty and responsiveness of fast WM. I installed it alongside xerolinux (KDE) and it made me want to learn arch more. Power user who reinstall their Arch based distro periodically and want to be set quickly can love it.

Not only is it fancy and pretty, it leaves you with grub fancy and pretty, and boots the operating system you chose last time. Those kinds of details make an operating system win points. It comes with yay pre-installed but no pamac or octopi: it doesn't matter, with yay -S pamac-aur installs in a minute. I have installed Archcraft Xfce and everything is going smoothly: for me it is one of the least bloated arch distros. Some complain that it has no support. It usually happens with one-person projects. But I think if you are a regular arch user you don't need any support, you already have the arch wiki. Great job! Was this review helpful?
