Antergos

About

Antergos was a rolling release Linux distribution originating from Spain, founded as Cinnarch to combine the Cinnamon desktop with Arch Linux. The project evolved beyond its initial goals, offering various desktop environments and its own additional repository that notably included AUR helpers, a feature absent from official Arch repositories. Essentially, Antergos provided an Arch-like experience with a user-friendly auto-installer, unique themes, and branding, making it a privacy-focused, bleeding-edge operating system. It was available as Free and Open Source software, running exclusively on Linux platforms, and was associated with the GNOME desktop environment. While directly based on Arch Linux, its unique installer and repository positioned it as a more accessible entry point to the Arch ecosystem.
