DarkOs - A Lightweight Arch Distro For WM Fans

DarkOs is a minimal Arch based distro that provides a base for tweaking and customisation. It uses an easy installer and out of the box provides Xmonad, Herbsluftwm and Awesome. It also provides the option on installation to install many additional packages, Desktop Environments and WMs.

This is the first time I've heard of this distro, so I thought I'd give it a spin.

If I'm honest, whilst I appreciate the work that has gone into it, it does feel like a work in progress. There isn't a consistent feel to the styling
and, for me, xmonad just through up errors. However, the other WMs worked fine.

If you see this distro as a foundation on which to develop your own WM config files it does make sense, but you have many other options if you want to do that.

You've probably guessed, I wasn't blown away by this. However, your mileage may very, so give it a try for yourself.

It can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/darkos-arch/
