πŸ›οΈ Arch Linux support

  • Phoenix now installs on Arch and its derivatives β€” Manjaro, EndeavourOS,
    Garuda, CachyOS, ArcoLinux, Artix (and anything with ID_LIKE=arch, e.g.
    SteamOS) β€” on x86_64 / aarch64. detect_os gains a fourth target and the
    installer dispatches to a pacman path; phoenix-term doctor and preflight
    grew Arch arms too.
  • Everything comes from the official repos, Ghostty included (extra/ghostty)
    β€” no COPR or .deb dance. The one exception, lazyssh (AUR-only), is fetched
    from its GitHub release like on the other distros.
  • ⚠️ Full system upgrade on install. Arch forbids partial upgrades, so the
    installer runs a complete pacman -Syu rather than -Sy <pkg> β€” it upgrades
    your whole system, not just Phoenix's packages (a kernel bump may want a
    reboot). This is the safe, Arch-correct behavior.
  • RHEL/Rocky/Alma remain unsupported β€” they're rejected explicitly, same as
    before.
