pacman makes me hate Arch Linux with a passion. It's the worst form of simon-says software, exacerbated by whatever batshit design decisions went into MSYS2.

No, I can't use WSL2 because IT paranoid authoritarianism and unwillingness/inability to communicate. Just pull the string on the toy Siamang gibbon and get the reflexive repeated howls of "NOOOOO! NOOOOO! NOOOOO!"

So I'm stuck with MSYS2 and it's unwillingness to explain which of the 17 different package prefixes is the one that will work on my hardware/shell/environment/whatever. I'm not trying to cross-compile anything - don't show me ARM packages and tell me clearly which of mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64, ucrt64/mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64, clang64/mingw-w64-clang-x86_64n etc is the package I need to install so that I can just start using it and get on with my real with instead of fucking around with your sadistic brain teaser of a package management system. Narrow it down because none of that prefix means jackshit to me NOR SHOULD IT.
