Arch as it was meant to be, simple, fast, secure, cutting edge - without the systemd labyrinth to choke it

Utilizing runit (default) init and service supervision - alternatives offered

Abiding to Arch goals and principles more than
Arch-Linux itself

Build from source in the complete absence of systemd and libraries using eudev, consolekit2, seatd, libudev-zero and other alternatives.

Maintaining as much compatibility to pacman/Arch-Linux
based packages as possible, so you have a wide variety of software to choose from (Arch, AUR, Obarun etc.)

Graphic environment support for X11 OpenBox
and JWM and in wayland labwc the true Openbox
equivalent (see screenshot)

For veteran sys-admins who appreciate building from source in as lean an environment as possible!

Equally friendly to students of the art of building from source, and a great base to move on and contribute to FOSS
