About Archcraft
Archcraft takes Arch Linux and turns it into a finished, heavily themed desktop built around lightweight window managers rather than a full desktop environment. Its standard releases center on Openbox and bspwm sessions that come preconfigured with panels, launchers, matching color schemes, and keyboard shortcuts, the kind of polish that normally takes days of manual dotfile work. Underneath, it stays a rolling Arch system: pacman handles packages, the Arch repositories and the AUR remain available, and updates arrive continuously. Archcraft is aimed at people who admire hand-tuned minimal desktops, want fast performance on modest hardware, and prefer keyboard-driven workflows, but do not feel like writing every config file themselves. A graphical installer keeps setup short, and the ISO can run as a live session. Booting it in an OpenFactory browser VM shows you the finished theming within minutes, with nothing to configure first.
All Archcraft releases and desktopsWhat happens when you press Try now
The button opens the OpenFactory console in a new tab and boots a fresh Archcraft virtual machine from OpenFactory's verified source media. The session renders directly in the browser, so there is nothing to download and nothing to install on your computer.
Each visit gets its own machine with a fresh overlay over an immutable base image. Files, settings, and desktop changes behave normally inside the session and are discarded when it ends, so every visitor starts from the same clean Archcraft current source.
Questions about this target
Is this an official Archcraft image?
Yes. Launches boot from OpenFactory's verified copy of official Archcraft media. The catalog records where each source came from and when it was verified, and visitor sessions never modify the stored image.
Do changes persist between sessions?
No. Every launch runs on a fresh overlay over an immutable base image, and the machine state is discarded when the session ends. No visitor sees another visitor's changes, and every session starts from the same clean Archcraft current source.
Can I get a customized Archcraft instead of the stock demo?
Yes. The OpenFactory builder turns this release into your own image: pick packages, services, users, and hardening, then build it, test it in a browser VM, and download the result for real hardware.
