This distribution is a great Linux experience coming from a community of young and energetic developers. I tried the XFCE version (which not an official release anymore but I heard from the team that they're going to get it back on track) and it was really great.
If you want a stable and fast operating system, give parch a try.
Default apps are very close to most of the desktop distributions (inspired by Linux Mint supposedly) and you can start using your Parch GNU/Linux installation from the moment you install it on your computer.

1. **User-Friendly for Arch Beginners**
- Provides an easy entry point to Arch Linux with a pre-configured desktop (default: GNOME) and essential tools, avoiding Arch’s manual installation complexity.
2. **Lightweight & Fast**
- Inherits Arch’s minimalism and performance, ideal for modern hardware while remaining efficient on older systems.
3. **Rolling Release Model**
- Continuously updated packages from Arch repos ensure access to the latest software and security patches.
4. **Aesthetic & Customization**
- Features a polished desktop environment with subtle theming (e.g., Parch-branded GRUB, wallpapers) while retaining flexibility for user customization.
5. **Arch Compatibility**
- Fully compatible with Arch’s vast software repository (AUR included) and documentation, leveraging Arch’s ecosystem without bloat.
6. **Minimal Bloat**
- Ships with essential apps only, allowing users to build their system from a clean base.
7. **Active Development**
- Regular updates and responsive maintainers address bugs and community feedback promptly.

Parch has been one of the most satisfying Linux experiences I’ve ever had. It brings the raw power and flexibility of Arch Linux into a cleaner, more approachable package without sacrificing control or performance. From the moment I installed it, everything felt smooth, fast, and minimal — just the way I like it. There’s no unnecessary bloat, and the system stays out of your way while giving you all the freedom you expect from a true Arch-based distro. The community is active and helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. I highly recommend Parch to anyone who wants a simple yet powerful Linux setup that they can truly make their own.

Great distro, it combines the simplicity of other less technicall distros with the superiority of arch, with a great community built around it. There are 2 (or is it 3? I don't know if cosmic counts) desktops out of the box but I installed hyprland and it works great. There are even some community made configs for other desktops including mate, buggie, xfce and more. The meta packages and packages that this distro offers are all nice too. I especially like the backgrounds probided in the parch-backgrounds package.
