It depends on which one.

Windows 7:

  • 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
  • 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
  • 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
  • DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

Arch Linux:

  • A 32-bit or 64-bit processor
  • 64 MB of RAM
  • About 400-500 MB of disk space

As you can see, there is a stark difference.
