Administer Arch Linux, CachyOS, EndeavourOS, and Manjaro: pacman, AUR, upgrades, boot, GPU, and desktop issues.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Arch Linux: Arch and CachyOS Administration Administer Arch Linux and Arch-style systems without falling into rolling-release footguns. Focus on vanilla Arch first, then layer in CachyOS behavior, `paru` workflow, systemd-native service management, boot recovery, kernel handling, and derivative-specific cautions. **Versions worth pinning** (October 2026): Only pin versions here when they materially affect compatibility or troubleshooting shape. For ordinary rolling packages, prefer the current repo state over stale version tables. Versions below are upstream component versions; distro package release suffixes and epochs are repository-specific. Check the enabled Arch or CachyOS repository before comparing builds. | Component | Version | Why it matters | |-----------|---------|----------------| | systemd | 262 | boot and session behavior | | mkinitcpio | 42.2 | initramfs pipeline changed enough to matter | | dracut | 111 (Arch; upstream 112) | alternative initramfs pipeline with different expectations | | linux-cachyos | verify enabled CachyOS repo | kernel and module compatibility | …

How to install
mdr add iuliandita/skills/arch-linux@sha256:f3594550ae210712The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.a4222b4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
