With the exciting release of the new Snapdragon ARM Laptops and more ARM SOCs rumored to be build by Mediatek + Nvidia, I was wondering if there are any plans to support the ARM architecture with CachyOS.
Hi,
Generally, we would like to have an ARM(64) variant, but we would also like to base on archlinux.
Since archlinuxarm is not in the best state, we are waiting that the situation improves. Arch worked on a RFC for “official” Architecture Ports, but so far there is nothing done.
The “official” Architecture Ports means, that this is maintained by different people but with the same infrastructure/maintainance as archlinux (e.g pkgver same, following the pkgbuild and co).
Currently, its pretty hard to contribute to archarm and gets more or less fully ignored, reason we also did not touch it yet.
So, tldr:
It is planned, but it also depends on the development of archlinuxarm
Snapdragon is currently not working on Linux tho.
Hello do you have any updates for arm or even for apple silicon?
Hi.
Any updates on this?
You’re going to want/need to track the state of upstream Arch for Arm which has been in enough of a flyx that building on it probably doesn’t make sense
I think that arm on linux, needs more effort and involemed from arm partners, like qualcomm. Arm itself is almost ready but qualcomm does lots more than just implentation of arm, they add their own layer of stuff on it and the cpu isnt the only thing, we need gpu acceleration and it not coming easy.
Hi!
I think this topic gets even hotter these days, having Nvidia announced RTX Spark. For my personal opinion, I would love to code on such a machine having a solid and quick linux as my daily driver. Definitely won’t use Windoze only to be able to use the new platforms…
Any news @ptr1337 ? Is archlinuxarm impoving these days?
