Apricity OS maintainer Alex Gajewski has proudly informed Softpedia about the availability of the first stable release of his gorgeous Arch Linux-based computer operating system.

Dubbed "Aspen," Apricity OS 07.2016 has been declared the first-ever stable release of the popular and beautifully designed GNU/Linux distribution, which is currently distributed in two flavors, with the GNOME and Cinnamon desktop environments, both supporting 64- and 32-bit hardware architectures.

Shipping with some of the latest software versions and a kernel from the Linux 4.6 series, Apricity OS 07.2016 Aspen features numerous improvements and new features, compared to previous releases. Among these, we can mention full-disk encryption support using LUKS, a more stable installer, as well as better touchpad support.

I have been using earlier version of this OS in my VM. Really compelling. I hope it's dev adopt rolling release in their next version.
It's good to see more UI oriented linux distro (just like this, solus, korora and elementary OS)

Makes me want to rededicate a HDD, the only problem for me is
many of the games I play are not supported, some are but not nearly
enough, that's why I eventually abandoned it in 2010.
Awesome share Jack

Arch is completely community run, i.e no overlords such as Canonical or Redhat. It's very lightweight, The community pre package the latest software in the AUR, or indeed any software for that matter. When a Distro is based on Arch because it's not actually Arch the distro usually has a ore stable update system such as the one in Manjaro.
