Has lot of apps (cinnamon version)....like the Vivaldi browser however it come loaded with Firefox and Chromium also...has a Conky built in and my only complaint with that is I have not found a setting control for Conky ...if it has one. Everything seems to work right out the box .....would not surprise me if this does not go to number 1 on Distrowatch soon. I do not know how resources heavy this is yet wish i could tell you but not sure...it does seem my fan runs a lot more with this loaded over Puppy linux 64 Bionicpup which I have been using on this laptop. Cons........so far maybe its a little bit resource heavy because its the cinnamon desktop.....should have used xfce but wanted to try out this one. My BIGGEST concern with every day use is its ARCH.....AND I have used ARCH based Manjaro before and updates kill it....hope this one is better .....but again its ARCH SO have to wait and see.....

It looks very elegant and working perfectly well with out any lag and also easily configurable. Although a bit heavy on memory. If you have at least 4gb RAM, go for deepin. you will not feel the need for any other distro. I am dual booting with windows10, but now working only with deepin. Arco team has done really well in streamlining the packages, and the installation is simple and fast. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 19.07.11 Rating: 10 Date: 2019-09-09 Votes: 28 Long time user of Manjaro Linux (~2 years). I recently downloaded the base version of Arcolinux and love everything about it. I enjoy the philosophy the creators have embraced with teaching people the inner workings of Arch Linux rather than giving users a black box. So far everything has worked right out of the box (- locking on suspend, but a quick google search fixed that.). I'm using the i3 environment provided and have been having a good time editing some of the configuration files to make things work the way I like them. I look forward to using the Arcolinux-D and Arcolinux-B editions. Thank you to the Arcolinux team, I'm here to stay. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 130 reader reviews of ArcoLinux...
