Originally only for 32-bit x86 CPUs, the first x86_64 installation ISO was released in April 2006. The name was chosen because Vinet liked the word's meaning of 'the principal,' as in 'arch-enemy'. Inspired by CRUX, another minimalist distribution, Judd Vinet started the Arch Linux project in March 2002.

Īrch Linux has comprehensive documentation, which consists of a community wiki known as the ArchWiki. Arch Linux uses a rolling release model, meaning there are no 'major releases' of completely new versions of the system a regular system update is all that is needed to obtain the latest Arch software the installation images released every month by the Arch team are simply up-to-date snapshots of the main system components. Pacman, a package manager written specifically for Arch Linux, is used to install, remove and update software packages. The project attempts to have minimal distribution-specific changes, and therefore minimal breakage with updates, and be pragmatic over ideological design choices and focus on customizability rather than user-friendliness. Īrch Linux adheres to the KISS principle ('Keep It Simple, Stupid'). Free software ( GNU GPL and other licenses) Īrch Linux ( / ɑːr tʃ/) is a Linux distribution meant for computers with x86-64 processors.
