There are several projects working on porting the Arch Linux ideas and tools to other kernels, including [[PacBSD]] (formerly ArchBSD) and [[Arch Hurd]],<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.archhurd.org |title=Arch Hurd |publisher=Arch Hurd |access-date=25 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140326001005/https://www.archhurd.org/ |archive-date=26 March 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref> which are based on the [[FreeBSD]] and [[GNU Hurd]] kernels, respectively. There is also the [[Arch Linux ARM]] project, which aims to port Arch Linux to [[ARM architecture|ARM]]-based devices, including the [[Raspberry Pi]], as well as the Arch Linux 32 project, which continued support for systems with 32-bit only CPUs after the mainline Arch Linux project dropped support for the architecture in November 2017.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://archlinuxarm.org/ |title=Arch Linux ARM |publisher=Arch Linux ARM |access-date=25 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328021825/https://archlinuxarm.org/ |archive-date=28 March 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://archlinux32.org/ |title=Arch Linux 32 |publisher=Arch Linux 32 |access-date=22 October 2020 |archive-date=26 January 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126232521/https://archlinux32.org/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
