It’s a completely different way to manage and build an OS that no one else is really doing. I find team ‘I use arch btw’ to be extremely annoying but at the end of the day, the arch tooling for building a Linux ypunlike to use means that people are naturally going to want to tell you they built something they find enjoyable to use. That’s not really something a lot of people say about most OSs.

I wanted to try to find a way to say this in reply to some of the other comments, but I wasn't sure I could communicate it effectively without just sounding like I was living up to the meme. You did a better job than I would have. :)

I have a roughly 13 year old install that I’ve moved through the transition to /usr/ and from sysv to systemd.

Whew! I'm aware of both those transitions, and was an arch user during one of them, but that's super impressive. My oldest install is from 2020, endeavouros on a headless media server in my basement. Not even close!
