Archcraft | The NEW Arch Linux!

It's good that Linux is "boring". It means that it's matured. And I know all the kids love having a riced desktop (I did, too). But nowadays I prefer having a stable system I know will work 100% of the time so that I can get my stuff done.

Been using archcraft for a year now, it's just arch but simply easier and better, the prepare rices are easy to use and configure, and it's also THE distortion I would recommend to an intermediate in Linux that wants to use arch but doesn't have enough knowledge to install it.

[@milesprowerxinfinity]

Garuda is better it's Arch Linux out of the box some people will THINK there's bloatware but it's all preconfigured right out of the package been giving it a go for a week it's free and better than Windblows 11 you might want to test drive it before installing using popsicle.

[@CarlJohnson-cb9xm]

Is this gnome or a different environments

[@kronikpillow]

you do realize that the word intermediate and "doesn't know how to install Arch" ... don't go together?

[@kamatisjuice]

Perfect description of how I would recommend this distro

[@Emancipatriot]

@@CarlJohnson-cb9xm it is not gnome. It’s running a tiling window manager which is superior to desktop environments like gnome if you have the patience to learn a slightly new way to do things. Kind of like when Apple took the iPhone home button away, exactly like that. Everybody thought that home button was the best way to do things. Very few people miss it. That’s what happens to DEs after you start using some kind of WM. You realize you have found an easier way of doing things.

[@unaddan]

love the name of the distro, archcraft, love it. started using linux by linux mint, tried every popular linux distro and lately I was using archlinux and I kinda found my abandoned reason of why I like linux. it's the customization, and arch is perfect.

[@Daoist_Oak]

Rofi themes is made by the same dev... He's kinda huge in the customization and ricing area. Edit: also yo forgot about BSPWM which comes along with openbox.

[@SkarTisu]

If you’re not writing your own bootloader from scratch in order to run Arch, what’s the point? Arch is supposed to be the top-level flex because of how much time you can waste just to get it running.

[@santiagohal6747]

If think that's what arch is about then you got it wrong. It's about having as little bloat as possible and easily having access to software.

[@micsss_]

maybe someone just wants to use their computer? lol

[@TheUncannyObserver]

@@micsss_ I feel like he was being facetious. Especially since Arch comes with a script to install it and the DE or WM of your choice, along with some basic packages to get you started. You can have a new install up in about 15 minutes, with the guided installer script.

[@bacshy]

Unfortunately, this customized linux distro is just focused on esthetic look and some custom components sets. but its not stable at all and breaks often. its not for novice use and need many fixes.

[@61443]

thanks for showing me this great arch-based distro! ive been searching for a good arch distro for a long time now, as I didnt want to go on just the arch one.

[@ArcTechnologies]

Thanks for watching!

[@PalashBackup]

Appreciate the video. Thanks for introducing some new fun distros. I still think vanilla arch is much superior because of the lack of any features. I can spend hours trying to understand and figure out how the computer actually works. I guess the word minimal and lightweight really ticked off a lot of the viewes. You can't say it is lightweight and then show that it has multiple versions of the same applications. Still, I loved the production quality and your screen presence. Thanks again.

[@mrce21]

This Archcraft is just Arch with and Wm, everything you can do and for free. They show an Arch with several DES and WM available but only have two des and one wm for free the rest you have to pay one by one or buy a premium ISO.

[@GordonLi-y9j]

Its a good introduction to ricing but honestly creating your own unique config from the ground up feels much more rewarding and is more practical when creating your own workflow

[@ArcTechnologies]

Totally agree!

"Why Archcraft? Archcraft is built on Arch Linux, known for its simplicity and user control. It offers a pre-configured, minimalist environment that is perfect for users who want a clean, efficient, and highly customizable operating system." There's no way you called Arch simple man what're you smoking lmao

[@JohnCrawford1979]

Arch is becoming too easy these days. If you want a challenge, do Linux From Scratch (LFS).

[@pupip55]

But the arch is built to be simple

[@HeDoesNotRow]

Arch Linux defines simplicity as without unnecessary additions or modifications. It ships software as released by the original developers (upstream) with minimal distribution-specific (downstream) changes: patches not accepted by upstream are avoided, and Arch's downstream patches consist almost entirely of backported bug fixes that are obsoleted by the project's next release.
