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

Mobian seeks to combine the traditional Debian distribution with the Phone Shell (phosh) project in a way that is compatible with various mobile devices, including the Pinephone. The ultimate goal is to reduce the unique aspects of Mobian by contributing customizations back to the original projects, a process known as "upstreaming." This operating system incorporates Phosh, developed by Purism, and leverages established modern Gnome technologies such as GTK, GSettings, and DBus, all functioning on a wlroots-based Wayland compositor called phoc. Mobian is designed not only for smartphones like the Pinephone but also for tablets such as the Pinetab and the Librem 5, ensuring that its functionality spans multiple devices. As part of this initiative, Mobian strives to strike a careful balance between maintaining necessary customized patches and packages that enhance performance while reducing its dependency on Mobian-specific modifications. This dual approach facilitates a smoother user experience while promoting the integrity of the upstream projects.
