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

PCLinuxOS is a free easy to use Linux-based Operating System for x86_64 desktops or laptops. PCLinuxOS is distributed as a LiveCD/DVD/USB ISO image, and can also be installed to your computer. The LiveCD/DVD/USB mode lets you try PCLInuxOS without making any changes to your computer. If you like it, you can install the operating system to your hard drive. Locally installed versions of PCLinuxOS utilize the Advanced Packaging Tool (or APT), a package management system (originally from the Debian distribution), together with Synaptic, a GUI frontend to APT for easy software installation. PCLinuxOS has over 12,000 rpm software packages available from our software repository. PCLinuxOS has a script called mylivecd, which allows the user to take a ‘snapshot’ of their current hard drive installation (all settings, applications, documents, etc.) and compress it into an ISO CD/DVD/USB image.

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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • remastering tools system setup tools- very good ones no systemd xfce rolling but stable fast customisable remasters itself
  • I really like using his apt-rpm. another cool tool is mylivegtk which allows me to make customized versions.

Cons

  • cluttered menu, but I changed it to suit myself cant think of anything else
  • Destandardized KDE menu, no support for systemd and gnome.
