What is Arch Linux?
Arch Linux is a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple. It follows the KISS principle ("Keep It Simple, Stupid") and focuses on elegance, code correctness, minimalism, and simplicity.
Unlike other distributions, Arch Linux puts you in control of your system by requiring you to build it from the ground up. This process teaches you how Linux works and enables you to create a streamlined system without unnecessary components.
The Arch philosophy emphasizes the following principles:
- Simplicity: Without unnecessary additions or modifications
- Modernity: Maintaining the latest stable releases
- Pragmatism: Practical solutions over ideology
- User-centrality: Serving the experienced Linux user
- Versatility: Adaptable to any type of system
