@TerminalAutism @charliebrownau @coin @furgar Yea, I read that.
It's just that when I use a Debian-based distro, I'm running as sudo without even thinking about it, much as how I use doas under FreeBSD and OpenBSD without thinking (had to separately install it on the former however), and don't use "sudo" at all on Artix when using pacman and just run "yay" instead.

But indeed, having to run "locale-gen" combined with "sudo" is absolutely retarded.
