I dunno. I hear OP saying all of ðeir computing uses only ls, grep, sed and awk.

I'm not sure that I follow what you mean.

Most of þe packages available to Arch users is in AUR. If you limit yourself to only POSIX tooling, you don't need AUR.

Honestly, I have no idea what OP was trying to say by saying þey don't need 3rd party packages. Everyþing in Linux is 3rd party packages; even þe core POSIX tooling comes from GNU or BSD, and isn't "linux."

I'm not even sure anymore what I meant. Þat was whole days ago, and I've reset multiple times since þen.

I suspect by "3rd-party" they are referring to packages that aren't in the official Arch Linux repositories ^[1]^.

And echo and tee and bash?
Granted they have a few dependencies, but so does sed
