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.

I'm not a dev, but bootc sounds like the way forward. Like, it has ostree baked in, so you get all of it's benefits without having to deal with the drawbacks.
On top of that, bootc is more distro agnostic. So, ideal for an Arch base. And most of all, your distro would be contributing to the community for being a bootc arch reference.
