I don't think this is a well-defined term, so not much point in arguing about its definition.

Cause there's like six other distros based on it. The point is that a package manager especially is a huge part of what differentiates the general experience of using a distro, and how a derivative distro works. And sure, lots of other details. Something like Manjaro, Artix etc. is basically cut from Arch as a template, often incorporating upstream changes or packages, with downstream changes based on differences of opinion.

"Conveniently?" I'm not making a case against Arch. I'm literally using an Arch derivative. Just not trying to sit here listing every single customization they ever made. Chill the fuck out.
I'll tell you, nothing bricks as hard or as irreparably as Windows. I have never had to actually reinstall Linux due to some problem (though it's a good practice security-wise).
A package manager + some packages in the base system maybe, is basically a distro template. And maybe some kernel tweaks, or a built-in DE/WM. Or opinionated init system maybe.
Yes, that. Always be conscious of what impression some information is giving you, and analyze whether your reaction is based on a full view of the situation, or if it's just the reaction that the information was shown to you in order to provoke. Because that is precisely the level propaganda operates at. The "they spent years carefully calculating a takeover" narrative is not compatible with the "toddler throwing a tantrum" narrative. Either one, or neither, must be true.
The abyss in the enforcement of international law, and the absence of any conscience, gives rise to the "just one more chip" approach to land seizure. The settlers also largely have an insane sense of entitlement to the land based on their religious mindset.
I don't think cruelty is the point. I think it's a more calculated form of narrative reinforcement.

Anyone else see the Chinese movie "To Live"? The same basic thing happened, but in the context of a criticism of Maoism - guy's daughter is speech impaired and they take her to the hospital to give birth, but the medical students have denounced the older doctors, and botch the delivery, so they have to fetch one out of imprisonment. Ironic that we see the same thing play out under Trump/Musk, isn't it.
I hit that in my mid 20s. Turned out my headlights sucked and I needed to clean the inside of my windshield.
I've gotten pretty far in using it, great tool with plugin integrations.
