The 5 easiest Arch Linux distros to get started with
Arch Linux follows a rolling release model, giving you access to the latest software updates as soon as they’re available. You also get access to the AUR (Arch User Repository), which contains tens of thousands of packages at your disposal.
However, it’s also true that vanilla Arch Linux is a very minimal distro and doesn’t ship with graphical tools, forcing you to use the terminal to configure the entire system. This typically includes picking different drivers, tools, and packages, which becomes difficult as you probably have never heard of them or know what they do. This makes it one of the most technically demanding and intimidating distros.
Thankfully, there are many distros built on top of Arch Linux that add necessary packages and even a graphical layer to make it less intimidating while still delivering all the perks. Here are five such options that you can consider as the gateway distros into the world of Arch.
