    Yeah, I use Endeavour and I would never say I use Arch. I’ve never installed Arch. That’s like the whole thing about it.

      I confess I have sometimes said I used Gentoo since 2007, when really, that was Sabayon, and not Gentoo until 2010.

      This was indeed technically wrong, or at the very least, misleading. Merely a choice of expedient shorthand, to avoid my usual verbose precision.

      Does anyone really care though?

      It does get me wondering how many “I use arch btw” are not really, and boasting a nothing burger from even less. XD

        Yup

        archinstall is damn near perfect for everything except corner cases as far as most end users are concerned. Installing Arch manually is just wasting your time these days.

          Oh, I installed Arch manually the other day and rather enjoyed the process :'( felt good to be reminded of all the bits and bobs.

          TBF I have been accused of being a time-waster on occasion
