view changelog & infoan immutable arch-based distro designed for simplicity and ease of use, with sane defaults.
it is made to be familiar for newcomers wanting to use an arch-based OS, and is designed to be a distro where not a lot of maintenance is required.
ArctineOS is an immutable operating system, meaning you can't easily break your system.
equipped with bootc using the composefs backend, updates are delivered as pre-built images, so that you can simply always roll back in case an update breaks your system.
ArctineOS comes with a customised version of GNOME (internally known as Milanium) meant to be familiar to Windows users switching to it, while attempting to improve UX.
instead of GNOME Software, GNOME Console (kgx) and GNOME System Monitor, ArctineOS includes apps such as Bazaar, Ptyxis and Resources instead.
homebrew is a package manager that can install command-line tools without modifying your system. with +10K formulae and +6K casks (+16K packages), it offers a big range of tools to install
using Distrobox and Toolbox, you can install packages from multiple distros (like Arch, Debian, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, Void Linux, Alpine Linux etc.) without modifying your system.
it all runs in containers using podman!
