Arch Linux (/ɑːrtʃ/)[7][8] 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.[9]
pacman, a package manager written specifically for Arch Linux, is used to install, remove and update software packages.[10]
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 snapshots of main system components released monthly to provide an up-to-date installation medium.[11]
Arch Linux has comprehensive documentation in the form of a community-run wiki known as the ArchWiki.[12][13][14]

One of the first questions wondered if McGovern was jealous of anything from any other distro. To that he answered Arch's wiki calling it "an absolutely amazing resource" that he himself uses.
