Hell yeah, Pacman running natively on Windows!! Who would've known? To start Pacman, we must do this: pacman-key -init Now, you can go ahead and open the Windows version of "Bash" and we can bootstrap the rest of the installation setup from there. You just download this zip file, unzip it and run the included Arch.exe. Serious Linux users would prefer better alternatives. So it's just a toy.īear with me here, if you want to just see how is the performance compared to my VMWare setup, go straight to the end of the article.Īnyway, in the case of distros. It's like being able to carry the fully built prototype of the next iPhone but no 4G support yet. But it really frustrates me that I can do so much but I can't actually use it as my daily driver. For a toy and cool demonstration purposes, it works. Moreover, out of the box the "Bash for Windows" proper only officially supports Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSuse I guess.
