Yeah, but the difference is quite huge IMHO. Arch philosophy is user centric so it is deliberately minimal because then it is up to you what to add instead of having to remove something to get what you want.
Yes, but as I said the way to get there is different. With a minimalistic approach you add stuff that you know you want. With the default approach you either remove stuff that you may not know yet if it was a part of something else that you want/need, or you just let it be.
Minimal concept in 2025 is not weird at all. It’s a preference really. I just prefer my system to be as minimal as possible (not necessarily small mind you). The same reason why I setup my VSCode plugins to be disabled except to enable the needed plugins at different workspaces. So I will not be distracted by something that I do not use.
