    Yeah, while lots of people have plenty of other reasons for using Arch. The packaging system is my personal favorite. I have made packages for deb and rpm based systems before, but Arch is just so dead simple with little scripts preinstalled to make it even easier.

      Absolutely agree, the wholeapt-get upgrade (or however, I always messed it up!) was annoying to me, and I switched to an arch distro (Endeavour) and I’m super happy with it. It’s my only machine and it is awesome

        Technically yes, but practically no. For the same reasons that manjaro might struggle with the aur even though it is technically arch based.

        Unfortunately, no, but you can get kind of close for Debian distros with LURE.

        EDIT: Apparently LURE is supposed to be distro-agnostic, so it’d probably work for EL too.

          Don’t the file structure guidelines differ across distros?

            Yeah. I haven’t looked at the code that closely, but it looks like they account for various differences between distros.
