Arch's design philosophy and implementation make it easy to extend and mold into whatever kind of system is required, from a minimalist console machine to the most grandiose and feature-rich desktop environments available: it is the user who decides what his Arch system will be.Īrch Linux strives to maintain the latest stable release versions of its software as long as systemic package breakage can be reasonably avoided.
A minimal environment (no GUI) compiled for i686/x86-64 architectures is provided upon installation: rather than tearing out unneeded and unwanted packages, the user is offered the ability to build up from a minimal foundation without any preemptively-chosen defaults. Based on a rolling-release model, Arch strives to stay bleeding edge, and typically offers the latest stable versions of most software.įollowing The Arch Way philosophy, Arch Linux is lightweight, flexible, simple and aims to be very UNIX-like. GUI configuration utilities are not officially provided, and most system configuration is performed from the shell and a text editor. Arch is installed as a minimal base system, configured by the user upon which their own ideal environment is assembled by installing only what is required or desired for their unique purposes.
Development focuses on simplicity, minimalism, and code elegance.
