Ah, thanks for explaining (and the rest of the thread for clearing up the "not a distro" part).

Kinda reminds me of some of the NixOS configs I created to pre-configure workstations for me when I was tinkering with NixOS, a "desktop configuration in a bottle" sort of thing.

Makes sense for Arch I think since a lot of the time getting it ready for your task is a often more than "just install the package you need" as it is on other distros; the main reason I switched to Arch distros when I lost the energy to configure it myself for each new piece of hardware (laptops with media keys especially).
