You're using Arch because of its minimalist approach and customizability. I'm using Arch because of "Waka Waka". We are not the same.

It's been yay on endeavours for its entire existence I think.

Install arch the arch way once or twice. After that use endeavouros because I don't need to spend the time.

I mean that's just your choice of software installer at this point.

Endeavoros just has a GUI and installs KDE for me.

The end result for us is nearly the same thing.

Its a config option. Add ILoveCandy in the options.

Apt is shorter, sure, but apt update && apt install … is much longer than pacman -S … so you should definitely switch

Instead of using a video format as a modern replacement, can't we just invent a better Gif format? Gif is somwhere inbetween picture and video formats. Maybe a simple container with a meta & settings file (speed & so on), similiar to comicbook?

Yay uses pacman for the official repositories, so you can still use this setting if you want

Yeah thats kinda my problem with arch.... ive never found it easy to use or useful. Every actual usecase other than it being "cool" is filled by distros much more adapted. Actually want a system from scratch? Gentoo. Want to make it deployable and dependable? Nixos. Want something rock stable? Debian. Arch never had any appeal for me(focus on me here).

video but with a "loops", "has controls visible" and "remove audio" setting

so it doesn't even have to be part of the video format, just muted mp4 or webm with looping and UI settings

I have an old laptop which I use to install various distros and play around with them. One time I tried to install arch. Like the very first step was to manually configure the network interface using some cli in some weird unknown shell environment provided by the installer.
That sat there at that step untouched for a day or two, then I installed some other distro.

Hmmm I don't remember the specifics but I think some parts of the system broke on me and I didn't have the patience to fix it. So I switched and have been very happy thus far running Fedora KDE.
