    An easy and elegant way to use your computer, GNOME is designed to put you in control and get things done.
    GNOME has been one of my favorite desktop environment since I began using Linux in ~2013. It is the default desktop environment that ships with Ubuntu these days, and for good reason. It is a highly customizable desktop that can achieve a sleek and modern look. Out of the box it may seem a little bland, but there is a great community behind the project that continues to release content. You can combine the GNOME desktop with some popular OS X-inspired themes to achieve a nice Mac replica desktop. GNOME Website.

  5. You've reached the website for Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple. Currently we have official packages optimized for the x86-64 architecture.

    • Open Source
    Arch Linux is a minimal-based system. This means that most of the configuration depends on the user to setup. Arch does not come with hardly any programs preinstalled. The user is responsible for installing most everything. However, the Arch wiki is extremely helpful. Pretty much every software I have needed to use has a full wiki page available on the official Arch wiki. I can't deny, this feels like an advantage as an Arch user, and is probably the best part about Arch. The installation process is slightly tedious, but the wiki walks you through everything and makes it simple. Even after just completeing the installation process, you will have a much better knowledge of how the Linux operating system works. I have been using Arch for some time now as my daily driver on my desktop and laptop, and I will be sticking with Arch for the foreseeable future. Something to also mention is that Arch uses a rolling release model. This means that there are no "major" updates to the distribution that may require you to install a new version. Instead, Arch stays on the cutting edge with small and frequent updates which are installed on the fly using the Pacman* package manager. If you have some Linux experience, I definitely recommend going through the Arch installation process and giving it a shot. Arch Linux.
