Archcraft Reviews and Details

Is Archcraft good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• 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.

• 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 3 years 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 3 years ago

  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: about 4 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 4 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 4 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: over 4 years ago
