From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

And if they go with CachyOS and choose Limine as the bootloader, it will be set up automatically! You can also install after the fact, as I did, but I agree that having hooks before and after package updates is very helpful and has come in handy a couple of times.
Slightly worried for my use was because I have ukify images with dracut and sbctl. It generates the boot entries with that long id so I'll maybe need to do some manual pacman hooks to modify the limine boot entries.
The thing might be simpler than a skim through tells me but I'll need to set aside some time to get it right. Thanks for the call out, would be super neat if this works.
