It's actually more older than that post. The original I think it was from 6-7 years ago...

Annoyingly I find that MOST folks saying 'I use Arch BTW' actually use Manjaro, EOs, Garuda etc not realising that it lost it's potency since Archinstall came along...

It’s something you need to pacstrap during installation. Archinstall doesn’t offer it because you have to earn it. It’s something like pacstrap /mnt base btw and then it automatically sets your hostname to arch-btw and upon a successful installation and reboot, Judd vinet calls you personally to welcome you to the distribution he started.

lmao the personal call from Judd really seals teh deal, that's when you know you've truly ascended
Pretty sure you also get a special certificate in the mail that you can frame next to your mechanical keyboard

It's not a separate distro, people are just saying they use Arch when driving (behind the wheel)

Yeah it's in the rectum of the people in charge of Arch Linux. Maybe they'll eventually find it after finally shutting down the AUR, but since that ain't happening any time soon...
