No, it isn't. But I get the general idea.
- 0xTJ 9y agoThe commenter's point was that it comes bare-bones. There is very little installed on a stock Arch installation. Unlike a distro like Ubuntu, Mint, etc., which are some of the most common desktop distros and come with a large variety of packages, Arch's install file is shockingly small, and the base packages themselves are very limited.
- Accacin 9y agoThe default Arch install is about 700Mb. How is that shockingly small? If you do a minimal install on most distro's you'll get something similar. Probably less, as Arch bundles all it's packages together and you can't chose to, for example, not install the dev packages. I use the OS myself, so I'm not hating on Arch linux but the misinformation spread about Arch is crazy.
