That means new kernel and application versions are rolled out to you as soon as they are released.While most other Linux distributions serve you old Linux kernel versions, Arch is quick to provide you the latest kernel.The same goes for software. If a new version of software in the Arch repositories is released, Arch users get the new versions before other users most of the time.Everything is fresh and cutting edge in the rolling release model. You don’t have to upgrade operating system from one version to another. Just use the pacman command and you always have the latest version.Arch User Repository aka AURThe Arch User Repository is a community-driven repository for Linux packages developed by users. It holds a massive library of installation packages related to Arch Linux.The most commendable part is that several packages are included in the AUR before they’re added to the official Arch repositories. This gives you access to a whole new world of software that would otherwise take time to lead you to your distro conventionally.AUR contains the package description PKGBUILDs, which allows a user to build a package directly from the source using makepkg and install it using the package manager.Feeling of installing arch linuxRemember the feeling when you first installed any Linux distribution even if it was installing Linux Mint?
