You still don't understand or don't want to understand it. Arch is for
both sides. Arch as it is can be used by the so called power users who
only want to use the keyboard and the console. And Arch as it is can
also be used by the average user who just want a nice desktop and just
want to read and write his e-mails, surf through the web and write some
letters with an office suite.

Both user bases can choose what they want to install on Arch as it is
now.

That's minimalism.

So why do you continue ranting about Arch?

Write your own website and build your own mirrors and writer there why
you are forking Arch and what's the difference between Arch and your
distro. But again I doubt that you can keep such a minimalism as you
like especially if you'll get a bigger user base.
