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.

About

Kali Linux is an open-source, Debian-based Linux distribution geared towards various information security tasks, such as Penetration Testing, Security Research, Computer Forensics and Reverse Engineering. You can take any Linux and install pentesting tools on it, but you have to set the tools up manually and configure them. Kali is optimized to reduce the amount of work, so a professional can just sit down and go. A version of Kali is always close to you, no matter where you need it. Mobile devices, Docker, ARM, Amazon Web Services, Windows Subsystem for Linux, Virtual Machine, bare metal, and others are all available. With the use of metapackages, optimized for the specific tasks of a security professional, and a highly accessible and well documented ISO customization process, it's always easy to generate an optimized version of Kali for your specific needs. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a novice, our documentation will have all the information you will need to know.

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.
