Unlike some other distributions that come pre-packaged with a plethora of software and utilities, Arch follows a minimalist approach, allowing users to build their system from the ground up. The Arch installation process, although text-based, is straightforward and provides users with full control over every aspect of their system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arch requires is a rolling release -- no "major upgrades" ever!

It's very stable and that's why I stick with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The forums are not always friendly.

There are sometimes bugs and once in a while, they are show-stoppers as well. Usually it's not too hard to get back up however. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arch Linux is customizable to next instinct. It is one of the most underrated Linux, which every beginner and expert should use to learn Linux efficiently and through the base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Learning arch is a do-it-yourself approach, making a steeper learning curve but worth it.

It is the potential to break for new users. The community is not huge to get support while breaking down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am an advanced Linux user, and Arch is perfect for me. It is my daily driver and I use it everyday. The best thing about it is modularity and freedom. I am a huge security and privacy enthusiast, and arch is the best distro for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It keeps breaking without me doing anything. Sometimes I install dependencies using the AUR helper and that breaks pacman's dependancies. Causing havoc. It would've been better if arch improves that, otheriwse it's perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arch has Pacman, that is better than using apt, which often installs the old packages and asks for updates every once in a while. Well, arch, it's stable, and you need not worry about anything; if the system is stable at launch, it's stable. More than anything else, that part is the most important. Arch is for people looking to deploy a specific project instead of tinkering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For starters, definitely not recommended. The OS is streamlined and highly efficient, but boy, is it buggy. More than anything, if you aren't experienced in Linux for at least two years, I don't recommend it. There are a lot of problems, and those problems aren't easy to solve. Arch is excellent, only for experts. It is beautiful, the best Linux for limited hardware, and for a good reason. That being the base that is rock hard stable. But it is difficult to code in, and solving problems can be challenging, but nevertheless, it is fantastic. If you can get it to work, it's the best there is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
