An independently developed, x86-64 general-purpose Linux distribution known for its flexibility, simplicity, and adherence to the "do-it-yourself" (DIY) and KISS ("Keep It Simple, Stupid") principles. It targets competent GNU/Linux users who desire a high degree of control over their operating system.
Arch Linux employs a rolling-release model, providing continuous updates to all packages, including the kernel and system libraries. This contrasts with traditional fixed-release distributions that require periodic major upgrades. Arch provides a minimal base system upon installation, allowing users to build upon it by selecting and installing only the components they require. This user-centric approach grants significant customization and control, but also necessitates a deeper understanding of Linux systems.
