Which Linux distribution uses the Pacman package manager?

Which Linux distribution uses the Pacman package manager? Arch Linux does. Pacman is Arch Linux’s native package-management tool, handling software installation, upgrades, removal, and dependency resolution.

Arch Linux was first released in 2002 and follows a rolling-release model rather than fixed, versioned releases. Its design emphasizes simplicity, minimalism, and user control. Pacman works with Arch’s official binary-package repositories and can update the entire system efficiently, commonly with the command `pacman -Syu`.

Pacman is sometimes confused with the Arch User Repository, or AUR. The AUR is a community collection of PKGBUILD build scripts, while Pacman is the official package manager. Related distributions such as Manjaro, EndeavourOS, and Garuda Linux also use Pacman because they are based on Arch, but Arch Linux is the canonical answer to this question.
