Ezarcher


Last Update: 2026-02-08 01:17 UTC

Ezarcher is a set of Arch-based live Linux distribution with a number of popular desktops, including Cinnamon, GNOME, KDE Plasma, LXQt, MATE and Xfce. All desktop environments are provided in their default upstream state, without any customisations. The distribution can be installed to a hard disk using either the text-mode "archinstall" method or the graphical Calamares system installer. Unlike Arch Linux which generally deploys the latest stable kernel, Ezarcher runs exclusively on the long-term supported variant of the Linux kernel. Besides the distribution, the project also offers build templates to guide users to customise and re-build their own live medium with one of the desktop environments on offer.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 420 (11), 6 months: 416 (22), 3 months: 306 (44), 4 weeks: 136 (135), 1 week: 40 (418)

Average visitor rating: 7.0/10 from 2 review(s).

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • 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.

 Been following this gent for quite some time.
Have observed his willingness to help to those who ask.
Found his info from Youtube while researching arch spins.
Clean system, well thought out.
He provides the scripts which are available at sourceforge.
Many thanks to the dev, a labor of love.
BTW, the gent has his own bulds of debian at Sourceforge also.

The iso's will run live to kick the tires.
I'm an old win user, this was easy to poke around in.
Functional, and installs the standard apps to get going.
Good on ya mate. : )

 Looks impressive.
Downloading from Sourceforge takes 5 hours - host somewhere else!
