Arch Linux (/ɑːrtʃ/)[7][8][f] is an open source, rolling release Linux distribution. Arch Linux is kept up-to-date by regularly updating the individual pieces of software that it comprises.[9] Arch Linux is intentionally minimal, and is meant to be configured by the user during installation so they may add only what they require.[10]
Arch Linux provides monthly "snapshots" which are used as installation media.[citation needed]
Pacman, a package manager written specifically for Arch Linux, is used to install, remove and update software packages.[11] An alternative is the Arch User Repository (AUR), which is the community-driven repository for Arch Linux; AUR packages can be downloaded and built, or installed through an AUR 'helper'.[12][13]
Arch Linux has comprehensive documentation in the form of a community-run wiki known as the ArchWiki.[14][15][16]

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.
