Re: Bring ARM into the fold?

I don't think you'll notice any difference if it becomes a Arch Linux port.

Re: Bring ARM into the fold?

We have had an RFC approved that outlines the process for getting a new architecture to be official, but there has been no-one step up and start the process for any new architecture.  It is as if no-one is really that interested in doing the work needed.

Perhaps when the new SnapdraggonX laptops start popping up in dev's laps someone will step up!

@allan am i allowed to start such an rfc? who could help me with it? am using a snapdragon x now and then - and it has *cough* windows at the moment. for aur packages i am responsible i at least put  arch=('x86_64' 'aarch64') in, like for the new rust based cosmic desktop: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … c-comp-git . but for the official package this gets dropped again: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … type=heads

Re: Bring ARM into the fold?

The RFC has been accepted and describes the process needed to get a port into archlinux .

I suggest you start with reading it thoroughly to get an idea of the work needed, https://rfc.archlinux.page/0032-arch-linux-ports/ .
