Arch Linux (/ɑːrtʃ/)[8][9] is an independently developed x86-64 general-purpose Linux distribution that strives to provide the latest stable versions of most software by following a rolling-release model. The default installation is intentionally minimal so that users can add only the packages they require.[10]
pacman, a package manager written specifically for Arch Linux, is used to install, remove and update software packages.[11]
Arch Linux uses a rolling release model, meaning it has no major releases. An Arch Linux installation is kept up-to-date by regularly updating the individual pieces of software that it comprises. The only "releases" are up-to-date snapshots of main system components released monthly.[12]
Arch Linux has comprehensive documentation in the form of a community-run wiki known as the ArchWiki.[13][14][15]
Linux (/ˈlɪnʊks/ LIN-uuks)[11] is a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel,[12] an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds.[13][14][15] Linux is typically packaged as a Linux distribution (distro), which includes the kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses and recommends the name "GNU/Linux" to emphasize the use and importance of GNU software in many distributions, causing some controversy.[16][17]
Popular Linux distributions[18][19][20] include Debian, Fedora Linux, Arch Linux, and Ubuntu. Commercial distributions include Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise. Desktop Linux distributions include a windowing system such as X11 or Wayland and a desktop environment such as GNOME or KDE Plasma. Distributions intended for servers may not have a graphical user interface at all, or include a solution stack such as LAMP. Because Linux is freely redistributable, anyone may create a distribution for any purpose.[21]
Linux was originally developed for personal computers based on the Intel x86 architecture, but has since been ported to more platforms than any other operating system.[22] Because of the dominance of Linux-based Android on smartphones, Linux, including Android, has the largest installed base of all general-purpose operating systems as of May 2022.[23][24][25] Linux is, as of March 2024, used by around 4 percent of desktop computers,[26] the Chromebook, which runs the Linux kernel-based ChromeOS, dominates the US K-12 education market and represents nearly 20 percent of sub-$300 notebook sales in the US.[27] Linux is the leading operating system on servers (over 96.4% of the top one million web servers' operating systems are Linux),[28] leads other big iron systems such as mainframe computers, and is used on all of the world's 500 fastest supercomputers[d] (as of November 2017, having gradually displaced all competitors).[29][30][31]
Linux also runs on embedded systems, i.e., devices whose operating system is typically built into the firmware and is highly tailored to the system. This includes routers, automation controls, smart home devices, video game consoles,[32] televisions (Samsung and LG Smart TVs),[33][34][35] automobiles (Tesla, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, and Toyota),[36] and spacecraft (Falcon 9 rocket, Dragon crew capsule, and the Perseverance rover).[37][38]
Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free and open-source software collaboration. The source code may be used, modified, and distributed commercially or non-commercially by anyone under the terms of its respective licenses, such as the GNU General Public License (GPL). The Linux kernel, for example, is licensed under the GPLv2, with an exception for system calls that allows code that calls the kernel via system calls not to be licensed under the GPL.[39][40][21]
Plasma (also known as Plasma Desktop) is a graphical shell developed by KDE for Unix-like operating systems. Plasma is a standard desktop interface. It was declared mature with the release of KDE SC 4.2.[4] It is designed for desktop PCs and larger laptops. In its default configuration it resembles KDesktop from K Desktop Environment 3, and Microsoft Windows XP; however extensive configurability allows radical departures from the default layout.[5]
Its technology is a fundamental rewrite of several desktop interaction programs included in previous KDE desktop environments for Unix-like systems, focusing on eye candy and special graphical effects. Plasma replaces the previous KDesktop shell, Kicker taskbar and SuperKaramba widget engine used in the K Desktop Environment 3 series with a unified system of widgets that can be configured and replaced with alternative designs.
if y'all think the boot was long, wait until you hear the FANS
That’s one hell of a long boot. I’ve never seen any as slow as that…
It's a 4GB ram with i5 U series from 2015, almost 10 years old lol
@@Yuhan-fp2gu yeah my mom used it for school and never used it since, so i installed a bootloader and ubuntu, but soon switched over to arch
@@triplelllgaming i have the feeling that something might be wrong with your installation. I run arch (btw) on a 12 year old VAIO, it takes only a couple seconds to boot… I even run KDE in it (if that makes a difference in booting time)
@@marioh5634it's likely an issue with the hard drive just dying. Old machines like this get unusably slow usually due to dying hard drives. Spend $50 and buy a replacement SSD and it'll likely solve the problem
@@Yuhan-fp2gu SSD or HDD?
with those specs you better use a more lightweight desktop environment or window manager.
true, i just did it cuz kde looks good and it doesn't slow this laptop down surprisingly :P
@@triplelllgaminguntil u open kde monitor and seeing 1.6gb ram had been occupid while idle☠️
1.6? My pc occupies 1.7 while idling (even tho i use fedora w/hyprland and swayWM)
@@KoteuKoteuofski back then i used manjaro arch its was 1.6, and manjaro also use kde so ye :)), now using lxqt, ram idle only 500mb 😇🙏
@@nguyenloctuan713 Very Lightweight i wish i have the same Ram Usage on my pc (even tho i still have about 30 Gigs free)
ВАЩЕ ОГОНЬ, БРАТ МОЛОДЕЦ ДАВАЙ ТАМ ПРОДОЛЖАЙ В ТОМ ЖЕ ДУХЕ
This comment has the right spirit!
Eyyy very nice I also use arch btw
ur not a real arch user if you dont have a 2011 secondhand thinkpad laptop
cool!
based
what are ur laptop specs?
Everyone talking about changing DE and almost no one mentioning the HDD. Last week I formatted an old desktop I had laying around for a friend. That PC had a Core 2 Duo Q6600, 4GB of RAM and a GTX 750 and I've been using it as a spare PC for a while for some gaming and simple graphics too. Tried formatting it and gaming on Windows 11, Manjaro KDE, PopOS and Mint and none of them was so slow. Put a nice SSD in that thing if you want to use it and it'll fix your problem. Of course a lighter DE and distro would also help but that ain't the main issue here.
KDE isn't that heavy on resources tbh, it runs fine even on devices as old as 15yo
@@fantasypvp I agree, which is precisely why I said that most people mentioning the DE, the RAM or whatever should have known that it's clearly a HDD issue
yeah, i probably should, cuz the hard drive on this laptop is DEFINITELY failing to some extent.
@@triplelllgaming if it's still the one that came with the computer it probably is, but even if it wasn't you should still swap it with an SSD. Mechanical drives are a pita to work with anyway, and I've been saved countless computers from friends and relatives that didn't want to buy a new one just by putting an SSD in and they clearly saw how unrecognizable their machine was. You can also upgrade the RAM to 8GB to keep that PC even longer but if you had to pick one that should 100% be the SSD.
Niceee
thanks ^_^
Brother it takes forever to turn on and KDE Plasma consumes too many resources for a laptop plus the games have low fps
Well, that was one heck of a long boot, but glad you decided to use Arch for that laptop instead of an old Windows version or something.
yeah it had windows 10 preinstalled but i installed rEFInd and ubuntu, then i later tried out arch
@@triplelllgaming Nice!
im using gnome but now i’m thinking about plasma, really beautiful and simple. please buy a ssd 😫
Geez, she's a bit slow, mate. I'm definitely curious about what KDE looks like these days, but it's always been too sluggish for me. With 4Gb of RAM, I likely would have opted for Openbox.
I think he likes Mario
The slow boot is likely caused by the hard drive You might also want to use fastfetch instead of neofetch; faster, maintained, and a little more information, but looks about the same
ah, never heard of that! also yeah, the hard drive on this laptop is probably failing a little...
for a shitty laptop like that i suggest Lubuntu its lightweight and can run with almost no lag on anything
Good, bruh, btw u can change GRUB parameters to disable this shiiity looong boot (disable terminal on start and skip filecheck maybe (on my fedora that works)
i'll probably try that actually, thanks ^_^
I am new to Arch also, but your boot took so long man
i know, you get used to it ;-;
@@triplelllgaming have you discord
What did you use to theme it that way?
i think the theme i used was called "utterly sweet". click get more in the kde theme settings and you should find it somewhere
use hyprland instead of kde
Hhat are hyprland advantages
Wayland experience 💀💀💀
i just used kde cuz it looked good and didn't slow down this laptop that much :P
use something lightweight like i3. a DE probably won't perform very well with that ancient piece of hardware you got.
yeah, but kde runs pretty good on this laptop so i'll probably keep it, idk :P
but isn't this too heavy on the ram?
Nahi bhai linux toh light hota hai
It isn't , I did more customization on my kde plasma than this, and the ram usage is nearly the same as it was deafault around 1.3GiB, and on windows it used to take half of my ram around 4GB
a little, but it can handle running a couple apps at once (sometimes)
That looks so swag (I have no idea what arch Linux is)
thanks! ^_^
Arch Linux goated bro go install it
There's things called operating systems. If you're on a phone, there's something called android (or iOS if on apple). If you're on a computer, chances are, you're using something called windows. Now, Linux is another operating system. Linux is another one of those OS's. Fun fact, most mobile OS's are based off of Linux. Anyways, windows is the most popular user-OS, but Linux is the most popular for servers, due to it being lightweight, customizable, and not dependent on one company. Linux itself isn't just a singular operating system; rather it's a plethora of branches that are based on the Linux kernel. There are many mother branches, which include Debian (the biggest), Slackware (the oldest), and a bunch of other "obscure" branches. Arch Linux is one of these. Arch is famous because it lets the user control a lot with your OS, alongside it being open source (like most Linux distributions). With this level of customization, users can create their dream OS, which is why Arch is a fan favorite.
@@_At0mz wow, uhhh... that was a huge but great explanation lol
