Arch Linux is defined by simplicity, modernity, pragmatism, and user centrality. It provides only a command line interface upon installation, allowing users to build a custom system by choosing from over 58,000 packages. As a rolling release distribution, it maintains the latest stable versions of software. Arch Linux requires proficient users who are willing to read documentation and solve their own problems. It is inspired by the CRUX distribution and focuses on simplicity rather than ideology or popularity.

2. Understanding the principles of Arch Linux
<1>Simplicity
It is defined as without unnecessary
addition or modification.

the original developer with
minimum distribution specifics.

3. <2> Modernity
Arch Linux maintains the
latest stable release version
of it software. It is based on
rolling-release system which
allows a one-time
installation with continuous
upgrade.

matter, not politics or
popular opinion. .

7. History
Arch is inspired by CRUX
(minimalist distribution) by Judd
Vinet in March 2002
First ISO supporting only for
32-bit x86 CPUs was released in
April 2006.
Project was later transferred to
Aaron Griffon in the year 2002
and then to Levente Polyak on
24 Feb 2020

8. When not to use Arch
When you:
-Do not have the ability/time/desire for a 'do-it-yourself' GNU/Linux
distribution.
-Require support for an architecture other than x86_64.
-Take a strong stand on using a distribution which only provides free
software as defined by GNU.
-Believe an operating system should configure itself, run out of the box,
and include a complete default set of software and desktop environment
on the installation media.
-Do not want a rolling release GNU/Linux distribution.
-Are happy with your current OS.

10. Installation
The installation guide has been fully updated to Command Line
Interface and there is no GUI support.
It is recommended to the user not to follows any unofficial guide
except the Arch Wiki.

14. Relying on complex tools to
manage and build your system is
going to hurt the end users. [...] "If
you try to hide the complexity of
the system, you'll end up with a
more complex system". Layers of
abstraction that serve to hide
internals are never a good thing.
Instead, the internals should be
designed in a way such that they
NEED no hiding.
