Arch Linux is an independently developed, x86-64 general-purpose Linux distribution. It targets competent GNU/Linux users who desire a high degree of control over their operating system.
Arch uses a rolling-release model, offering continuous updates for all packages, including the kernel and system libraries. Unlike traditional fixed-release distributions that need major upgrades, Arch starts with a minimal base system, allowing users to customize and install only the components they need. This approach provides flexibility and control but requires a deeper understanding of Linux.
