I think Manjaro is actually the most popular distro based on Arch. Has versions with XFCE or KDE pre-installed, and has packages for many others (Cinnamon, Enlightenment, Fluxbox, Gnome, LXDE, LXQT, MATE, etc). Main difference from Arch is that it maintains its own repositories and adds Arch updates only after they're deemed reliable. (Although if you'd prefer to use Arch repositories I think you can install Manjaro and convert it into plain Arch system.) A couple others that I believe use Arch repos and rolling-release updates directly: ArchBang (Open Box wm): http://www.wiki.archbang.org/index.php?title=Main_Page http://www.wiki.archbang.org/index.php?title=Main_Page Bridge Linux (Gnome, KDE, XFCE) http://sourceforge.net/projects/bridgelinux/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/bridgelinux/ There's list of all the Arch-based distros here: http://distrowatch.com/search.php?basedon=Arch http://distrowatch.com/search.php?basedon=Arch
