“Every Arch installation is different to every other Arch installation and is defined by its technical elegance and its adherence to the demands of the individual user or set of users. The aim is not a Linux for every man, but a Linux that is moulded to fit the demands of the individual user. So, as the Arch wiki expresses it, simplicity in the context of Arch Linux means ‘without unnecessary additions, modifications, or complications. In short; an elegant, minimalist approach.'”
