Will pantheon-desktop ever be a viable DE available to other distros?
We're actually very close to a fully functional, install-from-official-repository, Pantheon on Archlinux. In theory, the official release of elementary OS 6.0 should solve nearly all the remaining issues. Those issues are primarily things like not having any official release version, which prevents a software from being published in an official Archlinux repository.
