So he wants to end the blockade by blockading the blockade?

Personally, I use pacman when possible and flatpak when it's not. I try to avoid the aur as I have had too many problems with missing dependencies or version conflicts. Plus, I don't generally need things that are not in the repositories so it rarely comes up. "But flatpaks are not lean!" While this is true, I find flatpaks don't break my system. Flatpaks do use more resources, from storage to RAM, but I have plenty of both so it's not really a concern.

I ran Artix for a few days but ran into audio server issues. The issue was that there wasn't an audio server installed so I had not sounds at all. I managed to get everything working after some trial and error. As expected, most of the online help is written with systemd in mind. A little while later I installed another application which installed alsa as a dependency which broke my audio again. I went back to EndeavourOS after that.

I am using Fedora Server edition on my home server and EndeavourOS on my main. I see no reason to change that. If I had to choose only one I would go with stable first.
