What Is The Difference Between Apps Built In Arch Repos and Other Distros?

In the case of Arch, we are now using Python 3.12. Blender 4.1.1 uses Python 3.11. This is the actual issue. So, you should be able to install Python 3.11 and run the system installed Blender with no issue.

As far as packaging is concerned, Ubuntu, et al., use LTS Blender from what I remember, and a bunch of other LTS packages, so usually there are no issues or version conflicts.

Taken from Blender’s official dev site: https://developer.blender.org/docs/handbook/building_blender/python_module/

The Python version requirements are the same with building a regular blender binary (if Blender is using Python3.11 then there is NO WAY to use another version - 2.7…3.9/3.10 will all fail).
