Why Is Arch Linux So Fast?
Contents

But if Arch is faster than other distros (not at your difference level), it’s because it’s less “bloated” (as in you only have what you need/want). Less services and more minimal GNOME setup. Also, newer versions of software can speeed some things up.

What is so special about Arch Linux?

Arch is a rolling-release system. … Arch Linux provides many thousands of binary packages within its official repositories, whereas Slackware official repositories are more modest. Arch offers the Arch Build System, an actual ports-like system and also the AUR, a very large collection of PKGBUILDs contributed by users.

Why is Arch Linux better?

Arch Linux may seem stiff from the outside but it is a completely flexible distro. First, it lets you decide which modules to use in your OS when installing it and it has the Wiki to guide you. Also, it doesn’t bombard you with several [often] unnecessary applications but ships with a minimal list of default software.
