    Of course you can. But in Arch you must do a lot of things that are optional in other distros, and you install your packages explicitly, only including what you want.

        Meh, Arch users like it. Plus not having stuff you don’t want or don’t use on your OS makes it snappier and easier to update and maintain.

          And as a bonus, if you don’t install support for something and have no idea it exists, you can be continually amazed that nobody has invented it yet.

              Someone should invent drain holes for that situation.
