Arch Linux is really pegging my CPU about now...

According to John Hammond Facebook is blocking posts about Linux right now. So here goes. I love it how Arch Linux does it's updates even if compiling software fresh takes longer to install, Unlike Ubuntu's snap and to some extent Flatpak / Appmages, the resulting native binaries are fully dynamically loading, use the latest features, smaller files launch faster as they are not fat binary etc.
