DistroWatch published a review on the Arch Linux based Archman GNU/Linux 2020-11-12 KDE Linux distribution.





Archman GNU/Linux 2020-11-12 "KDE"

Archman GNU/Linux is an Arch Linux-based distribution which features the Calamares system installer and a pre-configured desktop environment. The distribution offers a rolling release approach. This means each new ISO release is a snapshot of the distribution rather than a planned fixed release. One thing I find interesting about Archman is each snapshot seems to offer different desktops editions. The 2020-11 folder on their download mirror provides KDE and i3 flavours of the distribution. The 2020-10 snapshot has just Xfce as its sole option. The 2020-08 folder on the server offers Deepin while 2020-07 is available in Xfce and MATE editions. Most editions appear to be around 2GB in size, with a few hundred megabytes added or removed, depending on which desktop environment is bundled on the media. I downloaded the KDE Plasma edition of the latest snapshot which was 2.2GB.
