Hi there folks, I’m still learning about Linux and have yet to dip my toes properly in any arch based distro. Have for the moment fallen in love with the immutable distros based on Universal Blue project. However I do want to learn about what arch has to offer to and plan on installing default arch when I have time. But have been wondering why I haven’t heard of any immutable distros from arch based distros yet.

So, am left wondering if there are talks within that Arch community of building immutable distros?


While writing this post I found a project called Arkane Linux, which seem to be very interesting. Does anyone have nay experience with it? Is there a specific reason why immutable wouldn’t be a good idea when based on Arch?

    Thank you for clarifying.

    I’m not very familiar with how stuff works over at (open)SuSE. However, for Fedora, we know that they’ve gone against Red Hat’s policy more than once. At the end of the day, it is (at the very least in name) a community distro.

    But, I think we can at least agree on the fact that Canonical’s influence on Debian is definitely less than Red Hat’s influence on Fedora or SuSE’s influence on openSUSE.

    Btw, consider conveying this better next time 😅. I think most others, like me, misunderstood you 😜.

    Have a nice day!
