Arch Linux Logo

Arch Linux Logo PNG

Arch Linux is the name of the software, developed by Levente Polyak in 2002 for Linux. This simple and easy-to-use operating system was created for x86-64 computers, and today is also available for i686 and ARM, being regularly updated.

Meaning and history

Though the visual identity of the Arch Linux operating system has been changed several times throughout history, one thing always remained untouched — an arch. Drawn in different color palettes and styles, it has always been there as the central element of the software’s insignia.

2002 – 2003

The very first logo for Arch Linux was created in 2002 and o my stayed with the software for a year. It was a black rectangular badge with a background full of “1”s and “0”s, representing the programming language. The “Arch Linux” inscription in the lowercase typewriting font was set in white color on the bottom part of the badge, and “covered” by a stylized contoured in the red arch with a funny penguin sliding from it and additional “Arch” lettering written inside.

2003 – 2006

The redesign of 2003 simplified and modernized the logo, making it look stricter and more professional. The new composition included a cleanly contoured emblem formed by two elements and a lowercase logotype in two thicknesses of letter lines, written in black in the right from the graphical part. The Arch Linux emblem boasted a vertically solace’s blue arch and a horizontal gray one, crossing it and making it look like the letter “A”.

2006 – 2008

The lines and contours of the logo were refined in 2006. The color palette was also changed and now the blue and black emblem was placed in a white and blue rectangular, stretched and separated horizontally. As for the wordmark, it was written in the same style, but now set in white color and placed on the blue half of the rectangular banner.

2008 – Today

In 2008 the Arch Linux visual identity is being redesigned again. The emblem was completely changed, though the typeface of the logotype — only slightly refined. The new arch, drawn in blue and placed on a white background, features a triangular top part and has some small thin white elements cutting its contour and making it look more dynamic. The wordmark is now written in dark gray and blue, with the “Arch” emboldened and having the same pattern of the letters as the emblem, and the “Linux” executed in a lightweight sans-serif.

Sorting out old password hashes

Starting with libxcrypt 4.4.21, weak password hashes (such as MD5 and SHA1) are no longer accepted for new passwords. Users that still have their passwords stored with a weak hash will be asked to update their password on their next login.

If the login just fails (for example from display manager) switch to a virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and log in there once.

Move of official IRC channels to libera.chat

As some of you may have read over the past days, there has been an ownership dispute over the freenode.net network. The IRC network has been used by Arch Linux and many other projects over the past decades as a platform for discussion and support. The dispute led to the exodus of most former freenode staff from the network and the founding of a new network: libera.chat

Starting today, Arch Linux and its sister projects Arch Linux ARM and Arch Linux 32 will begin migrating the official IRC channels from freenode.net to libera.chat. Please bear with us as this can …

Installation medium with installer

The installation medium now provides a guided installer.

This addition to the default method of installation (based on the installation guide) is similar to the other methods.

If you use this installer, do not forget to mention it when asking for support and also to provide the archinstall log, when asked.

Moving to Zstandard images by default on mkinitcpio

As linux-lts moved to the 5.10 version, all official kernels of Arch Linux now support zstd compressed initramfs images, so mkinitcpio is switching to zstd compressed images by default with version 30, which is currently on [testing].

If, for any reason, you are using a kernel version prior to 5.9, make sure to change mkinitcpio.conf COMPRESSION to use one of the compressors supported, like gzip, otherwise you will not be able to boot images generated by mkinitcpio.

Chromium losing Sync support in early March

Google has announced that they are going to block everything but Chrome from accessing certain Google features (like Chrome sync) starting on March 15. This decision by Google is going to affect Arch’s chromium package a bit earlier, on March 2, when Chromium 89 gets released.

We know for sure that data syncing will stop working (passwords, bookmarks, etc.). Other features such as geolocation or enhanced spell check might continue to function for a bit longer. Extensions integrating with Google Drive might misbehave and LibreOffice will lose access to documents stored there.

Other distros such as openSUSE and Fedora have …
