And right there lies your misconception. Newer software is not heavier by definition. Quite the contrary it often gets more efficient because of constant optimisation and improvements.
The concept of newer software using up ressouces like crazy is the scam used by corporate OS’ so you buy new hardware constantly.
I think Arch’s forced OS updates and want you to run the latest(heavy?) softwares, similar to Windows.
What are you even talking about? There’s no such thing as “forced OS updates” on arch.
You can just not update for weeks or months if that’s your thing. If there’s a thing arch doesn’t do is force things.
Not comfortable lol.
Sure ok, so back to you being “forced”, how?

What the actual heck are you talking about lol. Arch is quite minimal out of the box. Of course it’s your system, you can install whatever you want
Ok this is indeed solved by nix.
Not the bloat mind you. Nixos is the king of redundancy bloat (unless you use Btrfs and something like bees)
