Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Archcraft and what they use it for.
  • Looking for a Distro suitable for Programming (Mostly Java) and Web Creation (HTML and CSS)
    Try a few different ones that comes preinstalled with a window manager - window managers are all slightly different so it comes down to which one you prefer to use If you want to try Bspwm you can check out Archcraft - it comes preinstalled with bspwm and openbox and several themes.

  • Using i3 on a laptop is such a great experience
    If you don't want to configure it yourself, use an already configured setup like Archcraft. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Permission Denied error when running pipemenu
    I'm using Openbox for the first time, it has been working wonderfully. I've decided to take some configuration from Archcraft, (mostly to make my base Arch install look a bit better) however the pipemenu seems to not work. Source: over 1 year ago
  • thinking about switching from gnome to just a wm
    This might not be popular here, but archcraft could be a good starting point to get into WMs, as it's basically arch but with openbox and all the stuff you might want pre-installed. I don't have too much experience with it though, so I can't say how it compares to a custom setup in terms of performance. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Trying to install arch craft
    Anyway, I want to install archcraft and I've been getting a black screen during live boot. Fortunately, the fix is well known and its documented in the official wiki... Unfortunately I don't understand the instructions:. Source: over 1 year ago
  • rate my sunburn desktop
    Linux: archcraft (I'm now too lazy for ricing with xfce). Source: over 1 year ago
  • LXQt and SDDM on Fedora - whats it like, would you recomend it and is it safe to install with Gnome and GDM?
    May I suggest Archcraft? It's as beautiful/functional as it could get. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Distros Worth checking out - Archcraft
    It's probably better practice to have a link to the actual website, not the user. In this case, the actual website is ArchCraft (https://archcraft.io). Source: over 1 year ago
  • Problem dual-booting
    You can put VOID Linux and all other Distro's that interest you on Ventoy Stick too, I recommend Archcraft. Source: over 1 year ago
  • my turn to do a funny
    It's basically arch with riced openbox and bspwm out of the box and features like theme swtiching. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Looking for places to download rices
    Https://archcraft.io/ offers several pre configured window managers with multiple color schemes. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • An Arch Distro ?
    Archcraft is another Arch-based distro, but it is very minimal and it uses window managers and some lightweight apps only. No bloat or desktop environments, which is pretty cool. It also looks very beautiful. All window managers are pre-configured for you. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Why does dragging windows feel laggier in Linux than in Windows?
    The best experience I had with this was in archcraft. Manjaro feels laggier than Ubuntu Gnome somehow. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • it sure feels nice
    Https://archcraft.io/ ArchCraft if you're interested. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • distro recommendation for window manager
    You can install any WM in any distro so why leave fedora? Lekin if you want a pre configured and themed distro with bspwm (and other wms), checkout Archcraft and Axyl both based on Arch. Source: about 2 years ago
  • CPS capped at 11 [OS: Archcraft]
    So I switched to Archcraft [basically Arch with openbox and preconfigured keybinds] and I'm having trouble with my cps being capped at 11. I tried on Minecraft itself and on cpstest.org ,but my cps still seems to be capped at 11. Any idea how I can remove that cps cap? Source: about 2 years ago
  • OpenBox and ricing as a noob
    Although you have already installed Arch and OB I'd recommend having a look at Archcraft (https://archcraft.io/) for the-almost-over-the top rice and at my personal favorite ArchLabs (https://archlabslinux.com/). Especially the last one is very minimal and offers a great start to tweak tint2 and/or polybar. Have fun! Source: about 2 years ago
  • How to set a sxhkd shortcut to toggle the touchpad (active/inactive)
    I have switched back to Archlinux after some time in void, just for fun, and in order to test the very good bspwm flavour of archcraft. I am in love with it!! Source: about 2 years ago
  • Which is the easiest to configure window manager?
    You may be interested in a distro with pre configured window managers. https://archcraft.io comes with Openbox and I think bspwm, but you can install other pre configured wms from the repo. Another option is https://www.bunsenlabs.org. Both are worth testing out in a VM. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Imagine paying 100 bucks to see ads on your OS...
    There's also this Arch fork called Archcraft if you want to have Arch + several Arch themes bundles (GUI friendly). Source: about 2 years ago
  • Installed Archcraft after a year of using Mint. Gotta say, it's a learning curve going to a tiling WM but I love the look of it
    Looks to be a custom rice arch distro developed by Aditya Shakya. Source: about 2 years ago
