About

ArchBang is a lightweight Linux distribution built on Arch Linux, providing a minimal, fast, and functional Wayland desktop out of the box.

It was spiritually inspired by the original CrunchBang Linux — a project that proved you didn’t need a heavyweight desktop to get serious work done.

Where Arch Linux gives you a blank canvas, ArchBang gives you a starting point: a curated selection of packages, a working Wayland desktop, and a system that stays out of your way. What it offers in return is a clean, responsive system with the full power of Arch once installed.

ArchBang is independently maintained by Mr Green, a long-term Arch Linux user who does not use a heavy desktop but prefers a window manager to get the job done.

If that sounds like your kind of system, welcome.
