About

Alpine Linux is an independent, non-commercial, general purpose Linux distribution designed for power users who appreciate security, simplicity and resource efficiency. Alpine Linux is built around musl libc and busybox. This makes it smaller and more resource efficient than traditional GNU/Linux distributions. A container requires no more than 8 MB and a minimal installation to disk requires around 130 MB of storage. Not only do you get a fully-fledged Linux environment but a large selection of packages from the repository. Binary packages are thinned out and split, giving you even more control over what you install, which in turn keeps your environment as small and efficient as possible. Alpine Linux is a very simple distribution that will try to stay out of your way. It uses its own package manager called apk, the OpenRC init system, script driven set-ups and that’s it! This provides you with a simple, crystal-clear Linux environment without all the noise.

About

Arch Linux is an independently developed, x86-64 general-purpose GNU/Linux distribution that strives to provide the latest stable versions of most software by following a rolling-release model. The default installation is a minimal base system, configured by the user to only add what is purposely required. 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. Arch ships the configuration files provided by upstream with changes limited to distribution-specific issues like adjusting the system file paths. It does not add automation features such as enabling a service simply because the package was installed.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Fast and stable powerful system.
  • -Gentoo & LFS take hours/days to install, Arch gets it done in 15 min while being superior to Linux, the BSD family, Windows & Mac in every way. -often imitated, but never duplicate, Arch Linux is so influential it spawned so many forks (spinoffs) Artix, Manjaro, Arco, Blackarch, ArchLabs etc. -Arch User Repository, the most & largest collection of software available ANYWHERE. -pacman, Yay, Paru, Trizen packages managers, no Crapbook app store needed, all free. -If you can think of a program & you can code, anything is possible, no hardware incompatibility errors AT ALL - Linux isn't Mac or Windows but it's fully capable of using their software, with no unfixable error -You are in 100% control nothing is restricted, it's yours to make or delete as you see fit
  • You can customize everything: Arch Linux is based on the "Keep it Simple, Stupid" philosophy, so, if you want a DE, you can install a DE. AUR: The AUR is full of software, so you won't have to compile everything from source.

Cons

  • Complexity to install.
  • -System D primary init (Runit, S6, Suite66, DInit are faster and superior) -All Glibc no Musl replacement exclusive option. -bbs.archlinux.org forum community is TOXIC.
  • None at all, for the time I used Arch, I haven't found any issues.
