The Pantheon DE is theoretically available on other distributions. There is a very well-made Gentoo port and Debian is WIP.

Regarding Arch Linux, not all applications build out of the box, it takes some tweaking and nobody has made a build script for AUR or something that builds all of our apps, but many of them are in the AUR already.

AFAIK, I am the only elementary OS Dev who uses Arch Linux, and I am not familiar enough with the AUR to make it, so we'll have to wait for somebody to just go ahead and make it.

Thanks for your reply!

Ok, I'll try it after the elementary OS-Team has released a stable build! :)
And I'm sure a few ppl from the Arch community are also interested, so maybe they'll help ;)
