Bu makale, kullanıcıların kuracakları paketler konusunda referans alabilmesi için uygulamaların kategoriler hâlinde sıralanmış genel bir listesidir. Çoğu bölüm çizgesel (graphical) uygulamalar ve konsol uygulamaları olarak ikiye ayrılmıştır.

İpucu:

- Bu sayfa esasen hangi kategori altında olduğunu bilmediğiniz uygulamalara alternatifler bulabilmenizi kolaylaştırmak amacıyla vardır. Ana bölümleri farklı sayfalar şeklinde görüntülemek için sayfanın en üstündeki şablonundaki bağlantılara tıklayabilirsiniz.
- Arch Linux geliştiricilerinin Arch'ı daha iyi bir dağıtım haline getirebilmelerine dair çabalarını önceliklendirmelerine yardımcı olabilmek için, sisteminizdeki yüklü paketlerinizi, işlemci mimarinizi ve kullandığınız yansımaları geliştiricilere gönderen bir zamanlayıcı (system timer) sunan pkgstats'ı kurmanız, Arch Linux'a yapabileceğiniz önemli katkılardan biridir. Sunacağınız bilgiler anonim olarak gönderilir ve kimliğiniz tespit etmeye yönelik herhangi bir veri sunmazlar. Toplanan verileri İstatistik sayfasında görüntüleyebilirsiniz. Daha fazla bilgiye bu forum başlığı ile erişebilirsiniz.
- Hayalet programlar (daemon) genellikle başlatılması gereken ilgili systemd birim dosyasını barındırır; hatta bazı paketler başka birimleri bile barındırabilir. Bir paketi kurduğunuzda barındırdığı ilgili birimleri kontrol etmek ve bulabilmek için `pacman -Qql paket | grep -Fe .service -e .socket` komutunu kullanabilirsiniz.

Not: "Konsol" bölümündeki uygulamalar çizgesel önyüze (graphical front-end) sahip olabilirler. Resmî olarak çizgesel önyüz sunan uygulamalar bu bölüme dahil edilmemiştir.

#### Pastebin services

See also Wikipedia:Pastebin.

Pastebin services are often used to quote text or images while collaborating and troubleshooting. Pastebin clients provide a convenient way to post from the command line.

Note: An acceptable pastebin service does not require enabling JavaScript for viewing, does not display adverts, manipulate the pasted content or require a login. pastebin.com is blocked for some people because of malware found on the site and has a history of annoying issues (requires JavaScript, displays adverts, inserts CRLF line-endings and displaying CAPTCHAs at random). Do not use it.

##### Without a dedicated client

Some services can be used with more general command line tool, such as cURL. For extensions, such as line numbers, one can use more command line tools. Such as `cat -n`.

- 0x0.st is a file hosting service. Usage examples are:

      command | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

  or upload a file:

      curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st < file

  Note: Read the instructions on the website for further options such as file removal tokens, expiration, and private URLs.

- ix.io Usage examples are:

      command | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

  or upload a file:

      curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io < file

- termbin.com works with nc.
