RaspArch Build 260111 for the “new” Raspberry Pi 5 (released on October 23, 2023)

RaspArch Build 260111 is a “ready-to-go” ARM (aarch64/arm64) system. It can only run on a Raspberry Pi 5 computer. All included packages have been updated to the latest version as of 260111. The Desktop Environment is LXQt 2.3. You can log in to LXQt from SLiM as the normal user archpi or as root.

MORE ABOUT RaspArch
When you have installed RaspArch to your Micro SD Card you can use the system like any other Arch Linux (aarch64) system. I.e. install new programs etc. Arch motto is KISS ("Keep It Simple Stupid"). 

KERNEL
The Arch Linux original kernel 6.18.4-1-rpi-16k for Rpi5.

LOGIN FROM SLiM (both versions)
After the boot process is ready you will end up at SLiM's login page. Log in as the ordinary user archpi with password raspberry or as root with password root. While logged in as archpi you can use Sudo to become root. Example command: "sudo su" and "sudo dbus-launch pcmanfm-qt".

WHO SHOULD RUN Arch Linux/RaspArch?
My answer: The system fits the "advanced" Linux user/enthusiast, who would be willing to run an occasional command from time to time. 

BENEFITS of Arch Linux/RaspArch
Cutting Edge-software and speed. A member on raspex.exton.se recently wrote this about RaspArch: "I've used Slackware, Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu & Arch. I prefer Arch. Ubuntu is easier to install, Arch is easier to keep up to date. You do not go through big, painful, changes every year instead you just update, once in a while, make changes if instructed. Arch has most of the benefits of Gentoo without the pain of recompiling everything. When you do need to build a package in Arch its painless especially if you use one of the tools that support Aur (I like Yay). Arch avoids the politics of Debian and Ubuntu and delivers a great Linux distribution. RaspArch now brings these advantages to the Raspberry Pi 4". I.e. this was before Raspberry Pi 5 was released... 

PERFORMANCE
Everything works! The System is responsive and quite fast. The sound and video performance is very good. Especially when logged in as the ordinary user archpi.

TOTALLY UNIQUE
There is no other (good) Arch Linux System for Raspberry Pi 5 (as far as I know). Not for downloading anyway.
