  • 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.

It works amazingly fast on my Thinkpad X260 with not so great i5-6300U. Before trying it I was using Mint and it blew my mind how much snappier this one is. It's pretty easy to use even for a newbie like me, however to configure it to your liking you have to Google quite a bit. Nevertheless there are some amazing presets/themes so you may find something you like already preconfigured. Installation was easy with Calamares tool and everything worked out of the box. For an old laptop this is a godsend.

Very easy quick installation, openbox chosen at installation works fast.Polybar moved from top to bottom of desk top and plank to left with help from archcraft wiki, created custom keyboard shortcut for rolfi shutdown, help as before, via xfce4 settings.Very pleased with playing video and music with low power gpu.I would recommend this distro to those who wish to learn about linux,or those in the know.
Archcraft is blazzingly fast on dell optiplex 5040 intel i5, 16gb ram ,only hicup i could not get the menu to work with custom shortcut ,so installed jg menu which is working well.System boots very fast and is light on resource cpu and ram.All going well for past week or so as daily driver.

Disclaimer that I have only tried Archcraft with OpenBox in a virtual machine so far, but I try dozens of distros this way. Archcraft was harder than the majority to get working reliably, but it is now working.

It certainly looks good if you like flat design and carefully curated pastel-like colour schemes. The Ten built in styles apply flawlessly and look good, though any included Tint2 panel may appear at the top or bottom, they vary. It loads up in ~500Mb RAM and comes with a decent selection of software.

But a quick look over the website is not so encouraging. This is a one-person project - nothing unique or wrong there except that there are some 'Premium' versions available that cost from $5.99 up to $55.55, and the support for these consists of "Email me and i'll help you ASAP. " There are no official forums.

Mixed bag - fun to play with but not so good to recommend for work.
