It is pearOS, but with Arch Base. Yes! It uses vanilla arch, less bugs, easier, better etc.

I had enough with debian-based distros. pearOS with arch base, solve some of the big problems with pearOS, for example:

"it uses a different distribution for the base with almost every release"

"this require you to reinstall with every new release"

"sudo apt upgrade would/will destroy your installation"

"if they really don't have the money, they just shouldn't have used the third party host"

"They use the macos icons and are making money off of it"

Not anymore. With arch, there no more base-hopping Now, with arch, the system is now Rolling Realease, as it should be :>

( fixed in the latest debian builds but eh") You can do now sudo pacman -Syu and you will stil have the pearOS branding. With the new Arch base, the system is 2GB in size!! Good enough to save storage space on what I call the pearOS CDN. I heard that too! I do not make money from macOS icons but I changed them in NiceC0re anyways!!

Make sure you satisfy the deps in the section below. After that, run ./build-binary and pray wait.

sudo pacman -S mtools
sudo pacman -S squashfs-tools
sudo pacman -S pkgfile
sudo pkgfile --update
pkgfile pacstrap
sudo pacman -S extra/arch-install-scripts
