What I mean is: do Arch Linux developers use Arch Linux to develop Arch Linux? Do Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and others do the same? Or is it a case of “the cobbler’s children have no shoes”?

It seems obvious, but it may be more complicated than it appears.

    the distro’s tooling usually works best in that distro. not really linux but it seemed like many BSD devs use a different OS on their dev workstation tho.

      I don’t have any statistics, but I’ve heard that OpenBSD has more dogfooding than FreeBSD.
