Arch Linux is a lightweight and flexible Linux distribution that follows a rolling release model, allowing users to stay on the bleeding edge of software updates. Designed with simplicity and minimalism in mind, Arch provides only a base system upon installation, giving users complete control to build and customize their environment from the ground up. Its package management is handled through the powerful
pacman utility, and users have access to a vast repository of software, including the Arch User Repository (AUR), a community-driven collection of packages. Arch is well-known for its comprehensive documentation, particularly the Arch Wiki, which serves as an invaluable resource for both beginners and advanced users. While it requires a more hands-on approach compared to beginner-friendly distributions, Arch Linux appeals to users who appreciate transparency, control, and a deep understanding of their operating system.
