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

MSYS2 is a collection of tools and libraries providing you with an easy-to-use environment for building, installing and running native Windows software. It consists of a command line terminal called mintty, bash, version control systems like git and subversion, tools like tar and awk and even build systems like autotools, all based on a modified version of Cygwin. Despite some of these central parts being based on Cygwin, the main focus of MSYS2 is to provide a build environment for native Windows software and the Cygwin-using parts are kept at a minimum. MSYS2 provides up-to-date native builds for GCC, mingw-w64, CPython, CMake, Meson, OpenSSL, FFmpeg, Rust, Ruby, just to name a few. To provide easy installation of packages and a way to keep them updated it features a package management system called Pacman, which should be familiar to Arch Linux users.

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.
