Description: Adds a prompt asking the user if they want to install the base-devel package or not. This happens after installation of network packages. Default option is no.

Benefits: This package includes many tools like automake, gcc, and autoconf that are useful when compiling/making cloned packages or repositories. It also comes with sudo and other tools as well. Full list can be found here

Additional question I have regarding other packages: Should I also include the selected kernel's headers and linux-firmware package as well? They both include some firmware to run proprietary services as well as other headers needed for services. They both seem to be very helpful as other forks have added them (including my system).
