Arch (and derivative) systems can install it through the AUR

Once installed, does it run as an application? I'm using Aurora, but it has DistroBox, and I'm almost certain that I'm able to get Arch programs installed through it.

AFAIK it’s a desktop environment so using it via distrobox wouldn’t work, it has to be installed on a system level

It is a DE, like regular KDE, GNOME etc. At your OS's login shell, you should be able to select it once installed. If it is the only desktop environment on that system, it will not even be needed to get selected as the appropriate session gets started when you login.

That's cool! That would work for me!
