Parch Linux: A Simple & Easy-to-Use Arch-based Distro
|
||||
======
|
||||
A straightforward Arch-based distribution that doesn't come with
|
||||
overwhelming customizations out of the box.
|
||||
Recently, I was wondering what are some of the [best Arch-based Linux distros][1]?
|
||||
|
||||
After going through our past coverage and searching around, I did find some cool ones.
|
||||
|
||||
One of those distros was [Archcraft][2], which pleasantly surprised me with its user-friendly nature, and I was thinking we needed more Arch-based distros like that. Luckily, a few days back, I was made aware of **Parch Linux**.
|
||||
|
||||
So, join me as I take you through this intriguing distro that “ _tries to be pretty, easy to use, light, fast and stable_ ”.
|
||||
|
||||
### Parch Linux: Overview ⭐
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
[Parch Linux][4] is **an open-source, lightweight Linux distribution** aimed towards both beginners and experienced Linux users alike. It **uses Arch Linux as a strong base** to provide a clean user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
Some **key highlights** include:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Intuitive User Interface**
|
||||
* **Follows a Rolling-Release Cycle**
|
||||
* **Integrates pacman package manager**
|
||||
* **A bit of customization for enhanced user experience**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Initial Impressions 👨💻
|
||||
|
||||
I tried the **Parch GNOME** variant on a [virtual machine][5]. The installation process was pretty straightforward, as the welcome app had the “Install Parch” button that started up the [Calamares installer][6].
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
The installation experience is what you expect from Calamares, albeit with a different look and feel to it.
|
||||
|
||||
![][8]
|
||||
|
||||
I **set the timezone** , **the keyboard layout** , then moved on to **set up the user** with the usual information such as the username, password, name of the computer, and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
![][9]
|
||||
|
||||
The **disk partitioning** was familiar too, with file system options such as _ext4_ , _btrfs_ , _jfs_ , _xfs_ , _f2fs_ , and _reiser_.
|
||||
|
||||
![][10]
|
||||
|
||||
After everything was set, the installation began with a helpful progress bar at the bottom and a greeting with the Parch Linux logo in the center.
|
||||
|
||||
![][11]
|
||||
|
||||
Post installation, the system rebooted into this **beautiful-looking desktop that was running GNOME 45.1** in all its glory, with the new workspace switcher and the updated quick settings menu, among other nuances.
|
||||
|
||||
![][12]
|
||||
|
||||
I was curious what other wallpapers were offered. You can find some interesting choices among ones with the Parch Linux logo (if you like to show off what you're using).
|
||||
|
||||
Not to forget, the dock bar comes aligned to the left of the screen.
|
||||
|
||||
![][13]
|
||||
|
||||
I also noticed that Parch Linux has **a decent application suite** with important applications such as [GParted][14], [KeePassXC][15], Vim, and the usual GNOME apps for image viewing, video playing, checking maps etc.
|
||||
|
||||
![][16]
|
||||
|
||||
The distro packs in Pacman 6.0.2, the latest core package. Furthermore, I also tried running _pacman -Syu_ to get the latest packages.
|
||||
|
||||
That's when I noticed the different terminal emulator (not the default GNOME terminal).
|
||||
|
||||
![][17]
|
||||
|
||||
Parch Linux features the [Blackbox][18] terminal, which is **an aesthetically pleasing GTK4 terminal** that appeals to those who prefer a minimal terminal emulator.
|
||||
|
||||
Overall, **I liked what Parch Linux had to offer**.
|
||||
|
||||
Sure, you can customize these things for yourself on any Arch distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
However, I believe Parch Linux manages to provide a simpler user experience on top of Arch Linux, with a pinch of customization. And, this is a good thing for new Linux users ( _if you want the adventure to try new distros_ ).

### 📥 Download Parch Linux
|
||||
|
||||
I tested out the GNOME variant, but there are other variants too. They are **Parch KDE** , **Parch XFCE,** **Parch Cinnamon** and more.
|
||||
|
||||
So, for getting any one of the Parch Linux variants, you can either head over to the [official website][20] or its [FOSS Torrents page][21].

||||

|
||||
|
||||
If you run into any issues, or have questions regarding the distro, then you can give the [Parch Linux forum][22] or its [GitHub repo][23] a visit.

In case you are wondering why we end up covering Arch-based distros more, probably, this is why:
