- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

I know it. I'm literally typing this on a Raspberry Pi. I used to run Arch Linux on it, but Arch Linux on ARM has severe issues. It'll literally go months with no package updates.
One day I'll get brave and switch it to Gentoo. Just need to put together a build server first.
The maintainer for ALARM literally went on vacation and never came back. All commits are automations on the GitHub account. That's why Asahi switched to Fedora.
I have had great success running NixOS on my Pi. You can build software on your main computer and remote deploy with SSH :)
Does the cross compilation work fine? I've had some issues in the past building on macOS for x64.
Yes. I only have one extra line in my configuration:
Which compiler?
It's been a while. I can't even really remember which language. Now that I think of it, it might have been C#.
Major or minor?
Core. I'm a software architect, not a musician π
Yocto and compile it all yourself. Arch people might think they are cool because they have to use a console to install their de but creating the devicetree for your board and then only get a console over a serial connection or ssh is the true linux experience.
SteamOS on the Frame may soon alleviate some of those woes, given it's based on Arch and has an ARM processor iirc. Can't hurt, anyhow.
Usually those are from python rebuilds which clog the other packages for weeks at a time. Maybe they could use your build server.
Python rebuilds don't cause (noticeable) problems for AMD64 Arch Linux.
And any time anyone offers any kind of help on the Arch Linux Arm forums to try to help resolve the issue, the admins ignore and/or lock the thread. They're not open to help and the people on the forums are super frustrated about it.
They're literally a major cause of not getting package updates (even on standard arch they occasionally hold updates due to it), if that's unnoticeable then so be it.
And yeah, I stopped trying to participate on the forums. Never managed to even get a response there. Would be great if they would be welcoming support in any shape (or even consistent communication when the build server is gonna be clogged for a while again so they don't need to annoyingly answer the same questions...)
