Would it be possible to "downgrade" a CachyOS machine to Arch with some CachyOS packages installed but stay off their development channel? (programming.dev)

I have a CachyOS computer at home and I really enjoy it, but I'm worried by the trend of Ubuntu and Fedora adding AI recently. I've seen the admins on the Forum admit that they DO NOT oppose AI. I'm a bit worried about the future and I think I would like to learn about options for switching to Arch.

If it's more trouble than it's worth then I acknowledge it would be preeeetttyyy eaaasy to just install Arch on a cleared off drive and move all my work over, I basically did exactly that when I left Windows, but the downside is I'm not sure how hard it will be to recreate my workflow without some of the CachyOS packages.

No, and it doesn't say "almost nothing is included" either (that's just your interpretation of minimalism). The installation medium is bare-bones, yes, but that's not a complete ArchLinux installation.

FWIW: https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=LLM lots of relevant results.

In any case, that quote isn't an outspoken distancing from AI.
