ArchLabs 4.1, Arch based Linux distribution that ROCKS !!!

I was a bit skeptic before downloading ArchLabs 4.1. Downloaded, boot it and now I enjoy it. I was expecting a text based interface just like its ancestor Arch Linux, with no desktop GUI etc. But all my perception were totally wrong. ArchLabs brings a simple and beautiful Openbox desktop which is very lightweight.

I tried several Arch based Linux distribution such as Manjaro and Antergos. But this ArchLabs feels more "Archy" than those two. ArchLabs 4.1 codename "Yoda" was released few days ago brings some updates such as:

Decreasing initial boot times for live session
Decreasing wait times for first use of sudo/root
More wallpapers
Additional custom conky configs
Make the parts of ArchLabs a rolling release
Trim down ISO size
Implement a Welcome Screen

Please visit the official release note here.

For Manjaro users, ArchLabs should be familiar and if you want to switch to this distribution, should be no issues. ArchLabs 4.1 offers unlimited creativity and modifications. Conky, themes, icon theme are part that mostly tweaked to get a personalized look and satisfaction.
