Switching away from Ubuntu, again, to try Archcraft. Here’s what I think!

Archcraft is for Linux users who want a pre-configured window manager with a unique look out of the box. You get a pretty theme setup, but you can choose from a couple of pre-installed options (10 free themes) as well.

You can pick other window managers like Sway, Wayland desktop session, and unlock access to extra themes on Ko-fi by supporting the developer. So, some can call it a freemium model, and I do not mind that, considering you are paying the dev to give you a refined pre-configured experience, saving all the time to set it up yourself.

But, of course, nothing is ever perfect. Everything has flaws. It is you who pick what flaws you can live with, and what you can’t.

    Interesting, thanks! Never heard of Nitrux before.

    Yes that’s true. I just realised that I apparently tinker too much to use an immutable distro as of now. But I’m definitely keeping an eye on them.

      The one I’m personally keeping an eye on is a future Universal Blue distro that’s being built with Cosmic. It’s not officially released to the public, but it’s quietly doing automatic builds in their GitHub repository.
