PintArch - My personal instalation of Arch Linux
PintArch - Ain't got no teeth, ain't got cavities.
- To install just use:
- curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dpnpinto/PintArch/main/install.sh
- sh install.sh
- Or just do it yourself:
- loakeys pt-laint1
- pacman -Sy git
- git clone https://github.com/dpnpinto/PintArch, the instalation script is the BASH file PintArch.sh
- Remember that this is made by me to me, use at your own risk, allways changing something here.
- However remember that it is very useful to perform a manual installation, you can follow the Arch Wiki or my resume in Portuguese here
PintArch - What I need and deserve
I designed this version of PintArch but, in reality, it is the simplified installation of my Arch Linux.
It is not a pure Linux version on top of the kernel, but, with the same mentality as Linus Torvalds, I needed a version of an operating system for my Workstation that met my needs to be light, simple, secure, and flexible.
As a 'purist' I prefer base distributions rather than the ones 'based on'. I've tested a lot of them just to see how they work, for several reasons, they have been set aside.
In my opinion, the Arch Linux distribution is perfect for this. It is one of the best Linux distributions for desktop use, and for what I need, because::
- It is very (allways) up-to-date distribution (Rolling Release)
- It has a large community of very dedicated people https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux
- It allows me to install everything I want (I don't know of any software that I can't get to work on Arch, yes even "Windows troublesoftware"
- It is completely modular and adaptable to the needs of any user
- It, always, has the latest updates https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/ArchWiki:About
- It has a very well-documented source of knowledge (Arch Wiki) https://wiki.archlinux.org
- It has the best open repository from a Linux community (AUR) https://aur.archlinux.org
