Archman Linux

Archman Linux is an Arch Linux-based distribution that originated in Turkey and is designed to make Arch Linux more accessible to beginners and general users. The distribution's name comes from combining "Arch Linux" and "Pacman" package management

Archman uses the Calamares system installer and includes the Pamac package manager, making installation and software management much easier than traditional Arch setups. It's a rolling release distribution, meaning you install it once and receive continuous updates rather than needing to upgrade to new versions.

The distribution offers multiple desktop environments including Xfce, KDE Plasma, MATE, Deepin, GNOME, LXQt, LXDE, and even i3wm. The Xfce edition is their flagship version and is particularly popular for being lightweight and efficient, consuming around 400-500 MB of RAM.

We take security seriously

Once you have downloaded an image, be sure to verify it for both security and integrity.

By calculating the image’s checksum on your own computer and comparing it to the original checksum, you can verify the image has not been tampered with or corrupted. Images are also gpg signed with Fedora keys to demonstrate their integrity.

  • Click the verify button to download the checksum file for your downloaded image.

  • Import Linuxrpms's GPG key(s)

                    curl -O https://linuxrpms.com/linuxrpms-gpg.pub
                  

    You can verify the details of the GPG key(s) here.

  • Verify the checksum file is valid

                    gpgv --keyring ./linuxrpms-gpg.pub archman-*-CHECKSUM
                  
  • Verify the checksum matches

                    sha256sum -c archman-*-CHECKSUM
                  

If the output states that the file is valid, then it's ready to use!
