Said about CRUX Linux as an alternative
Arch was originally inspired by CRUX. The latter still adheres to its ideas of minimalism and modularity, which is (arguably) increasingly not true for Arch.
CRUX resembles Void, i.e. it follows similar ideas of BSD-like simplicity, but CRUX is much older, therefore more stable and more tested.
a minimal source-based distribution with perhaps the clearest, most transparent and simple layout among all source-based systems and Unix-like OSes in general
