Description

Could we add the property ID_LIKE=arch to /etc/os-release.

Tried to install [GitHub - SoftFever/OrcaSlicer: G-code generator for 3D printers (Bambu, Prusa, Voron, VzBot, RatRig, Creality, etc.)](https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer) from AUR today, and in its build script it checks the distribution’s /etc/os-release for ID and ID_LIKE to check which system it should build for.

With CachyOS, this build script fails because it doesn’t know the ID cachyos and ID_LIKE is missing.

Reference: [os-release](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/os-release.html)

Research direction

Start by locating CachyOS's generated /etc/os-release and compare its fields with the referenced os-release specification. Add the requested ID_LIKE=arch property, then verify the file contains the expected value and that the OrcaSlicer AUR build-script check no longer rejects CachyOS.
