Description

Arch Linux is a self-sufficient, x86-64 general-purpose GNU/Linux distribution that aims to deliver the most current stable software versions through a rolling-release approach. Its standard installation offers a bare-minimum base system, allowing users to customize their setup by installing only the necessary components. The philosophy of Arch Linux emphasizes simplicity, defined as the absence of unnecessary enhancements or alterations. The distribution provides software as originally released by upstream developers, minimizing downstream modifications, and avoiding patches that are not accepted upstream; any changes made are predominantly backported bug fixes that will be addressed in the next release. Furthermore, Arch includes the configuration files from upstream, with changes limited to specific distribution needs, such as modifying file paths within the system. Notably, Arch does not incorporate automation features like automatically enabling services upon package installation, thereby maintaining user control over their environment. This approach allows users to tailor their systems closely to their needs, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of their operating system.

Description

LibreELEC is a streamlined Linux distribution specifically designed for running Kodi on popular media center devices. We are committed to the enduring benefits of collaborative development and actively contribute to the broader Open Source community instead of keeping modifications to ourselves. While LibreELEC is centered around Kodi, it has also been forked to create a stable JeOS base for other projects like Plex Embedded, Lakka, and various IoT and maker initiatives. Users familiar with OpenELEC will recognize similarities in the software output, as both distributions operate Kodi with shared code, yet they diverge in their foundational principles. The governance of LibreELEC is managed by a project board that is elected from among the active team members, responsible for defining project objectives, establishing priorities, and making key decisions. This board plays a crucial role in ensuring that tasks are effectively assigned to volunteers. LibreELEC stands as a free and open-source software solution that aims to empower users and developers alike. The community-driven approach fosters an inclusive environment where contributors can thrive and share their innovations.
