Not sure if “psychotically” is the right term. One does not have to have a disorder separating them from reality to be reactionary. Though it is reactionary, for sure.

To be fair, I have had some issues like my screen not displaying anything all of a sudden using Arch, but I think that was more NVIDIA’s fault. Adding a boot parameter ended up fixing that.

I don’t remember exactly how, but you can specify a compiler using arcane magic I don’t fully understand to compile for a baremetal target. Some people do full OS dev in just Rust, though usually C and ASM are involved to bootstrap. It can be somewhat arcane, though.
