ArchBang
Linux distribution / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ArchBang Linux is a simple lightweight rolling release Linux distribution based on a minimal Arch Linux operating system with the i3 tiling window manager,[1] previously using the Openbox stacking window manager. ArchBang is especially suitable for high performance on old or low-end hardware with limited resources.[2][3][4] ArchBang's aim is to provide a simple out-of-the-box Arch-based Linux distribution with a pre-configured i3 desktop suite, adhering to Arch principles.[5][6]
