Arch Linux

Arch Linux is a Linux distribution that follows the "keep it simple, stupid" philosophy. The package manager is called pacman (not to be confused with the famous game). Unlike Debian and derivatives, Arch Linux uses a "rolling release" system, which means that updates get released for the software frequently. The operating system can be customized to satisfy the user's needs. It was originally intended for 32-bit x86 CPUs, but x86_64 installation ISOs became available on April 2006.

Development
Arch Linux was inspired by CRUX, another Linux distribution that follows the "keep it simple, stupid" philosophy, and started development in 2002, releasing its first version, 0.1, on March of that same year.

Installation
The user can decide to install it using the traditional command-line install,the bundled archinstall script, or by using Arch Linux GUI. Unlike most distributions, it doesn't come with a desktop environment or window manager by default, so the user must install it in the basic terminal.

It also requires the user to install everything from scratch. From packages, to drivers, and many more.
