Dear community,
Parch Linux mirrors are currently inaccessible to users outside Iran. The Iranian government has closed external network access and restricted everything to the internal network only.
We are actively working on alternative distribution channels to keep Parch Linux available for everyone worldwide.
Thank you for your patience and support.

همکاران و جامعه عزیز،
میرورهای پارچ لینوکس در حال حاضر برای کاربران خارج از ایران غیرقابل دسترسی هستند. دولت ایران دسترسی شبکه‌ای خارجی را مسدود کرده و همه چیز را به شبکه داخلی محدود کرده است.
ما به طور فعال در حال کار بر روی کانال‌های توزیع جایگزین هستیم تا پارچ لینوکس برای همه افراد در سراسر جهان در دسترس بماند.
از صبر و حمایت شما سپاسگزاریم.

We are now running all Parch Linux infrastructure on Parch Linux itself.

This is an important milestone for us. We trust our own system in production. Build, CI, repositories, services. All powered by Parch.

We are also preparing to unveil a dedicated Parch Server edition. It is designed to be practical and accessible for everyone. It includes several focused features that we will explain soon in a detailed post on the official Parch Linux English blog.

Unfortunately, this progress comes at a difficult time for my country, Iran. The situation here is unstable and hard for many people.

I ask you to keep the people of Iran in your thoughts. We hope to pass through these conditions safely and reach freedom.

Merry Christmas, bsd.cafe! 🎄

I’m looking for some brutal honesty to help shape the future of Parch Linux.

Beyond the hype and the "shiny new things," what actually makes a distro livable day after day? I’m looking for solid, battle-tested opinions on what constitutes a good system when the novelty wears off.

If you could architect the "perfect" daily driver based purely on reliability and workflow, what acts as the foundation?

Well, it feels good :)

Hello Fediverse and BSD Cafe :D

I am working on some sets of scripts to improve the usabilty of #ParchLinux and also create a TUI installer by merging all of them together Just like the FreeBSD TUI installer.

This is the First of them, it helps users to manage their locales, and also i should create a pacman hook for it too.

This month in Parch: Parch in motion

It’s been a while since our last proper update on the Parch Linux blog, and we owe you an apology for that. Development, testing, and a few unexpected hurdles have kept us busy, and we let our posts slide. We’re sorry for the gap and deeply appreciate your patience and support as we keep Parch Linux moving forward. Today, October 20, 2025, just days after Windows 10’s support ended on October 14, we’re sharing a detailed look at what’s been happening with Parch over the past few […]

I’ve started writing a Mirror Manager for #ParchLinux from scratch using Python, GTK4, and Libadwaita.

It’s called Mirrorman, and it still needs some work before becoming fully stable.

For now, it fetches the country list, pings the mirrors, sorts them by speed, and saves the results to the mirrorlist file.

I’ve already implemented most of #Reflector ’s features, and I plan to add more and release the source code under GPL-3 tomorrow.

Any suggestions are welcome! :)
