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.
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.
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.
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 💖
Yes. I only have one extra line in my configuration:
boot.binfmt.emulatedSystems = [ "aarch64-linux" ];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.
