    First of all, thank you for the reply and I find your position completely reasonable. We agree that EOS is essentially an opinionated Arch install.

    That said, the goals of EOS seem antithetical to the Arch project and many of its fans. I think it was elsewhere in this thread that somebody argued that somehow EOS would confuse new users because of mild deviations from the default like dracut or systemd-boot. Those are directly from the Arch repos and yet Arch users still brand them as “the other”. I do not see how EOS could have been done under the Arch umbrella and the decision enforce the separation with pure Arch is driven by the Arch desire to define Arch by a very narrow standard of purity.

    I am very happy that EOS uses the vanilla Arch repos and I am very happy that they have limited their ambition in terms of what to change.

      The dracut-systemdboot thing makes no sense. If you are installing Arch Linux, you have all options available? There is no “default” Arch, 😅
