Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Nice GUI installer
Very nice and easy to use GUI installer.
Pro Good for Linux Newbies
Nice GUI not too much know how needed to use it, but is that not the whole idea behind Arch, to understand and visualize what is happening during an Arch Linux install.
Pro Minimal & beautiful
One of the prettiest distros out there IMHO.
Pro User friendly install guides on site
Easy to follow guides for newbies or those who want a little guidance.
Pro Pacman more stable
In my opinion, Pacman is a better choice than apt. Perhaps Linux Distros should consider migrating.
Pro Active & responsive dev
The dev is very active & is constantly improving the distro. New ISOs released regularly.
Pro Well organized
The dev made this one of the best Distros and easy to add/remove deesktops or wm without breaking the system.
Pro Worth the Donation
The effort and work put in is evident, doesn't look finished half way
Pro Lovely UI Design with an Attractive menu
The developers made sure this distro was crafted well. Really nothing I would change, and the default ensure you won't be installing malware.
Pro Not just a Website with some Ghostfiles
The Site is informative and gives a nice insight into what you can expect from this beautiful distro. For the first time ever for me no customization needed everything is perfect.
Cons
Con Not great in Virtual
Not so great when trying to setup in a virtual environment, better to just follow the wiki on the Arch Linux site.
