  ArchLabs Linux is an Arch Linux based distribution, influenced and inspired by the look and feel of BunsenLabs with the intermediate to advanced user in mind. With the rolling release cycle of Arch Linux, the new packages will be available immediately, making upgrades a thing of the past. The ArchLabs ISO does not include a live environment. You are straight into the console. The installer is launched from there.   ArchLabs Linux is a free and open-source GNU/Linux distribution based on the acclaimed Arch Linux operating system and built around the lightweight Openbox window manager. It's inspired by the look and feel of the BunsenLabs distro formerly known as CrunchBang Linux. In fact, the developers of ArchLabs Linux call it a clone of BunsenLabs, but a clone of its own. Also, it should be noted the fact that BunsenLabs is currently based on Debian GNU/Linux a...

  This distro picks up where Antergos Linux left off in terms of seeking an easy-to-use online installer and modern user-friendlier Arch environment. Antergos, once a popular distro among Arch enthusiasts, shut down when its developer team members declared they no longer had time for it. Bryan Poerwoatmodjo (Bryanpwo), project leader and founder of EndeavourOS, was the Antergos community forum moderator. One of his goals for the young distro was to make the terminal an integral part of the operating system while also providing a GUI for software installation as a small layer of convenience. He does both very well. EndeavourOS is not an Antergos clone, but it is a very close replacement for other Arch-based options. One of this distro’s founding principles is to offer something not often available within Arch Linux communities. It promises to provide a nontoxic community environment where users actually can get friendly technical help. Another essential feature is how...

 One of the most popular lightweight Linux-based operating systems is Linux Lite. Heck, the name of the distribution tells you that it is designed to use few resources! Version 5 is now available, and as per usual, it is based on the latest Ubuntu LTS -- 20.04. The Xfce desktop environment will feel familiar to those switching from Windows. Those new to Linux will also appreciate the easy access to many popular programs, such as Skype, Steam, and Spotify. Even the excellent Microsoft Office alternative, LibreOffice, is included.    If you want to download Linux Lite 5, system requirements are very meager -- a 64-bit 1Ghz processor, 768MB memory, and just 8GB of storage space. Those with 32-bit processors are left out of the party, and they should probably consider buying a new computer at this point.  Linux Lite is a Linux distribution, based on Debian and Ubuntu and created by a team led by Jerry Bezencon. The distribution offers a lightweight desktop e...
