Ця стаття являє собою загальний список програм, відсортованих за категоріями, для тих, хто шукає необхідні пакети. У багатьох розділах консольні і графічні додатки відокремлені один від одного.

Приклад:
  • Ця сторінка створена, в першу чергу, для того, щоб полегшити пошук пакетів в конкретних категоріях. Використовуйте посилання в шаблоні нагорі, щоб переглядати ці категорії на окремих сторінках.
  • Будь ласка встановіть пакет pkgstats, що містить cron завдання, які відправляють список встановлених вами пакетів, а також інформацію про архітектуру комп'ютера і використовуваних дзеркалах розробникам Arch Linux. Це допоможе їм правильно розподіляти зусилля і зробити дистрибутив ще краще. Інформація відправляється анонімно і не може бути використана для ідентифікації користувача. Ви можете переглянути зібрані дані на сторінці статистики. Більш детальна інформація доступна в цій темі форуму.
  • Daemon пакети зазвичай включають в себе відповідні Systemd блок файли для запуску; деякі пакети можуть включати в себе декілька таких файлів. Команда pacman -Qql package | grep -Fe .service -e .socket використовується для перевірки і знаходження цих пакетів.
Примітка: Додатки, перелічені в розділах "Консольні", можуть мати графічні інтерфейси. Офіційно, зараз вони відсутні.
