Antergos is a discontinued Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. By default, it includes the GNOME desktop environment, but it also offers options for Cinnamon, MATE, KDE Plasma 5, Deepin, and Xfce desktops.[3] Originally released in July 2012 as Cinnarch,[4] it quickly gained popularity and was ranked among the top 40 most popular distributions on DistroWatch by June 2013.[5] The name Antergos derived from the Galician word for ancestors, was chosen to "to link the past with the present".[6]

Development of Antergos was discontinued on May 21, 2019, due to the limited availability of time for the volunteer developers.[7] It was succeeded by EndeavourOS, which was released on 15 July 2019.[8]
