I do not get why people on distros like Endevour or Cachy say that they use arch. It makes me cringe everytime. Be proud of your distro, they are all good.
Linux isnt windows so I reject that comparison. But by your logic anything running nix is nixOS or anything using debian is debian. Plenty of distros share repos, kernels, software but they are still independent distros.
Yes my phone does run samsungOS but it also runs the android kernel. We generalize when we say “android” the same as we generalize when we call all linux distros “linux”
Yes I am using it differently than the distrowatch websites search filter. And I would not call distrowatches search filter a conventional understanding of the word.
Im not saying independent as in they do everything themself from scratch im saying it as in they are self governing.
No I dont use arch and I’ve never claimed I use arch. I just point out that if you dont use arch its cringe to tell people you run arch. Thats just common sense I thought but there are many non arch users that are feeling attacked by me pointing that out.
archinstall is damn near perfect for everything except corner cases as far as most end users are concerned. Installing Arch manually is just wasting your time these days.
They do. They have their own identity, community and user culture. Go make a post on the arch fourms, endevour fourms and cachy fourms and it will be 3 different experiences because they cater to different niches of people. Majority of Arch users will never get their system as optimized as cachy.
There is little different in actual use between all linux distros. They all feel mostly the same but the differences are there and they are what makes linux cool.

Endeavour is Arch. It uses the Arch repos.
If it isn’t Arch, then those automated Windows 11 installers with pre-configurations used by enterprises aren’t Windows. Of course they are.

By your logic every Android phone has Samsung os, LG os, pixel os and not android.

wat.
Did you misread? Or have a brain fart to misstep logic like that?
Also,
You must be using “independent distros” in a very different way from the conventional understanding of these words.

Is ‘I run arch’ your entire personality…?
No I dont use arch and I’ve never claimed I use arch. I just point out that if you dont use arch its cringe to tell people you run arch. Thats just common sense I thought but there are many non arch users that are feeling attacked by me pointing that out.
I use Arch BTW (cachyos)
Yeah, I use Endeavour and I would never say I use Arch. I’ve never installed Arch. That’s like the whole thing about it.
Even that has been massively simplified, no?
Yup
archinstallis damn near perfect for everything except corner cases as far as most end users are concerned. Installing Arch manually is just wasting your time these days.Oh, I installed Arch manually the other day and rather enjoyed the process :'( felt good to be reminded of all the bits and bobs.
TBF I have been accused of being a time-waster on occasion
I confess I have sometimes said I used Gentoo since 2007, when really, that was Sabayon, and not Gentoo until 2010.
This was indeed technically wrong, or at the very least, misleading. Merely a choice of expedient shorthand, to avoid my usual verbose precision.
Does anyone really care though?
It does get me wondering how many “I use arch btw” are not really, and boasting a nothing burger from even less. XD
Cause it’s funny to say arch btw
Its only funny if you’re actually an arch user tho.
for me at least, endevour and cachy dont rlly have an identity, they feel like Arch but easier to install with very little difference in actual use
