Over the years, ArchBang has grown from a simple idea into a trusted distribution beloved by minimalists and Arch Linux enthusiasts alike. Its mission has always been to provide a lightweight, functional system that works seamlessly out of the box while staying true to the Arch Linux philosophy of simplicity and user control.
But as you may know, ArchBang is not just a project; it’s a labour of love. It’s maintained, tested, and improved entirely by a myself who has dedicated many hours to ensuring the system remains up-to-date, reliable, and relevant. This work requires significant time, effort, and resources—and that’s where you, the community, come in.
### Why Your Support Matters
ArchBang is, and will always be, free to download and use. However, maintaining the project comes with costs:
– **Hosting and Bandwidth:** Keeping the ISO available for download and ensuring smooth delivery to thousands of users requires funding.
– **Development and Testing:** Updating ArchBang means staying in sync with Arch Linux updates and ensuring that all customizations work seamlessly.
– **Time and Expertise:** Each feature, tweak, and fix represents hours of work. These are hours taken from evenings, weekends, and personal time.
Without community support, it becomes increasingly challenging to keep ArchBang thriving. Your donations directly help sustain the project and ensure its future.
### How You Can Help
If you’ve ever downloaded ArchBang, found it useful, or appreciated the work that goes into its development, please consider giving back:
– **One-Time Donations:** Any amount helps! A small contribution from many users can make a huge difference.
– **Recurring Support:** Setting up a monthly donation ensures steady support for ongoing development.
