Archcraft is a minimal Linux distribution built on Arch Linux that emphasizes aesthetics, minimalism, and speed. Originally created by developer Aditya Shakya, it's now a community-driven project.
The operating system only needs 500MB of RAM to run, making it extremely lightweight. Rather than using traditional desktop environments like GNOME or KDE Plasma, Archcraft uses preconfigured window managers including Openbox and bspwm by default, with additional options like i3, DWM, Sway, and others available.
As a rolling-release distribution, it has built-in support for the Arch User Repository (AUR), giving users access to a vast library of community-maintained software packages. The distribution comes bloatware-free and includes only lightweight, essential applications out of the box.
