The Power of Arch.
Zero Complexity.
Strix Linux is a ready-to-boot Arch-based distro with KDE Plasma, a guided installer, and modern tools — no Arch experience required.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
A curated, opinionated Arch setup that just works from first boot.
KDE Plasma 6
Breeze Dark theme out of the box. Fast, modern, and fully customizable. Auto-logs in on the live ISO so you're at the desktop in seconds.
Rolling Release
Built on Arch Linux — you'll always have the latest kernel, packages, and software. No reinstalls, ever.
Modern CLI Toolbox
Ships with btop, bat, eza, fd, ripgrep, fzf, zoxide, and Starship prompt — configured and ready.
Guided Installer
A clean TUI installer walks you through disk setup, filesystem, hostname, user, timezone, DE choice, and AUR helper. No manual Arch install needed.
Choose Your Desktop
KDE, GNOME, XFCE, Hyprland, or i3. Pick your DE during install. Each is configured with sensible defaults.
Pacman + AUR
Full access to the Arch User Repository. Optionally install yay or paru during setup — the largest software collection of any Linux distro.
A terminal that's actually nice
Modern replacements for classic Unix tools, configured out of the box.
