Installer fails every time. Downloaded three times and verified iso's. Tried to sign up on forum to ask for help but the e-mail verification never comes through. Tried to run live DK and it just show a background and freezes. Tested with i3 and openbox installs using default kernel.

One of the best Arch-based distros I've ever used so far. Stable and lightweight. As a long time distro hopper, I believe it has been underrated too much, as it deserves top 10 in my opinion.
ArchLabs offers a simple and easy way to get Arch Linux installed as mentioned by some other reviewers. The only drawback is that the installation is a sort of old school. If a GUI installer such as Calamares is available, it will make the installation process more straighforward, especially for beginners who have never installed a Linux OS before.
It's really my favourite and reliable distro. Highly recommend. Keep up the good work. Thanks a million!

Nearly perfect. Seriously. I have been distrohopping since 1999..
I have tried nearly every major Linux distribution known to humans.
This has to be the cleanest, fastest, easiest to configure distro ever.
Totatlly totally happy.
This should be in the Top 10 for real.
The installation is a bit old school.. but going slow at it : it was a breeze to set up.
Everything works perfectly.
The keybindings are a bit strange at first.. but after looking at the configuration file..
not hard at all.
I may just be done with hopping around.

Very east install and light barebones system with a great community. I felt the installer was super easy to use and I loved that it even gave you the option to add other packages so if there are packages you know that you will need for your workflow it allows you to get them installed right out of the box so you are ready to go.
I have it installed on an old 2 GB RAM Macbook Pro 2011 and it runs like a champ. This OS really breathes some life into older hardware. Openbox is super easy to configure to really make it your own

nice distro but it will be better if used Calamares installer when installing the OS... because it more user friendly for new user in Linux so i can recommended this distro to my new friend that new in Linux...
hopefully the developer can add the option to install the OS using calamares in the next update this will be a plus for the OS if the installation is easy and more user friendly...
one of the best arch-based distros I've ever tried so simple and easy I recommend this distro to try the only drawback is that the installation still seems traditional because it doesn't use a GUI to install and may be difficult for beginners who have never installed an OS before

Makes installation of Arch very easy.
The partitioning of the disks works very well and is easy to do. How
The text menu sets out the steps to accomplish very clearly. Mistakes can easily be corrected. If you use
two hard-drives it takes a bit more effort, you could do the partitioning before starting the installer.
A very good choice of available desktops.
At the end the installation takes only a few minutes. I use Plasma/KDE.
One thing that would help is to translate the installer menu into other languages. I miss the French language.

No idea why this is not more popular.
It's probably the best Arch installer there is and the default Openbox desktop is phenomenal.
10/10

Very good Arch installer. I installed xfce, lts kernel, and some programs. Everything works fine. No bloat, fast and nice looking. Thanks to the ArchLabs team.

Amazing installer (that even offers i3-gaps as a wm option) with a very nice default Openbox desktop. Overall a truly minimal and clean Arch installation.
A solid 10/10 for any user looking for simplicity!
