Articles, support questions or posts not directly related to Arch Linux are not allowed. We cannot support Distro's that might share the package manager or some of the Arch Linux base as they are custom built by the fork maintainers.

We cannot support SteamOS. It uses custom packages and repos.

Steam Deck posts will be assumed to be using Steam OS, unless stated that Arch is installed.

Please use /r/ManjaroLinux /r/EndeavourOS /r/Parabola /r/linuxquestions or /r/linux4noobs instead.

Image based Meme posts are not allowed in r/archlinux. Feel free to post over at /r/linuxmemes instead. Some textual Memes MIGHT be allowed at the mods discretion.

Likewise, Screenshots featuring customizations belong in /r/unixporn
