Description

Arch Linux is a self-sufficient, x86-64 general-purpose GNU/Linux distribution that aims to deliver the most current stable software versions through a rolling-release approach. Its standard installation offers a bare-minimum base system, allowing users to customize their setup by installing only the necessary components. The philosophy of Arch Linux emphasizes simplicity, defined as the absence of unnecessary enhancements or alterations. The distribution provides software as originally released by upstream developers, minimizing downstream modifications, and avoiding patches that are not accepted upstream; any changes made are predominantly backported bug fixes that will be addressed in the next release. Furthermore, Arch includes the configuration files from upstream, with changes limited to specific distribution needs, such as modifying file paths within the system. Notably, Arch does not incorporate automation features like automatically enabling services upon package installation, thereby maintaining user control over their environment. This approach allows users to tailor their systems closely to their needs, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of their operating system.

Description

You set it up once and then enjoy its benefits indefinitely. There's no need to fret every six months about significant system upgrades that could potentially render your device unusable. Instead, you receive regular updates that not only tackle security vulnerabilities and eliminate bugs but also introduce the latest features and advancements, including updated kernels, new drivers, and the most current desktop environment versions. Each update undergoes rigorous testing in line with industry-leading quality standards, utilizing a build service that other Linux distributions aspire to emulate. Not only is every new package version tested individually, but various clusters of versions are also compared to ensure your system's internal consistency. With just one command, you can update thousands of packages, revert to a snapshot from the previous week, fast-forward to the latest changes, and even preview what future releases will look like. This streamlined process allows users to seamlessly manage their systems without the usual headaches associated with traditional upgrades.
