This is very hard to read. Some of the problem I am sure is language
the language barrier, and I commend you for your effort to right such a
lovely message in your non-native tounge. But some of it is something
else, I don't know what exactly. Some of this is that your would like
to see the supprot of more init processes, and I am sure the dev team
will look at the requsts and reply.
The second part about the number of ISO's, that I did not understand what
your are requesting.
Let me just say something about the AURs. The arch AURs can be very
useful, but even if you are using native Arch, they can be hit and miss.
But they forfil a great purpose for all kinds of software and I don't
see it as a disadvantage. If anything, it is a huge advantage because
it allows for a small development community to focus on core
finctionality and not have to build every kind of client software under
the sun. The fact that the artix dev community is relatively small and
accessable is made possible, indirectly, by this. So considering the
alternatives, or using freshmeat, I like the AUR.

EndeavourOS offers a great example about ho things should be done in my opinion : a only one Calamares ISO , where you can choose everything , the desktop , the display servers , the init system , the repos enabled (and now that xlibre is on the road, also the xserver implementation , if possible).
