Hi community,today 10.01.2022 I released full archboot ISO support for aarch64.Homepage changed to reflect all aarch64 support:https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archboot

These images enable you to install archlinuxarm on an aarch64 system.Apple Mac M1 and above hardware with parallels desktop software (https://www.parallels.com) is working.

It is availabe on archboot home: https://pkgbuild.com/~tpowa/archboot-images/aarch64

It supports pretty everything for installation.Though I only tested this for parallels desktop virtualization, perhaps someone with real h

Hi,

For all users with an Apple M1 and up and the need of running a virtualized Arch Linux ARM.

I created a directory with hosted images with parallels desktop tools inside prebuilt:

https://pkgbuild.com/~tpowa/parallels/

It's a plain small image with only root as user.

Have fun.

The linux-aarch64 kernel package in Arch Linux ARM has not been updated since Sep 2022 and still ships kernel 5.19.8.

This kernel release has been EOL for a long time as 5.19 is no LTS branch. There is a good amount of security issues affecting this kernel version, e.g.

• CVE-2022-3303: Race condition in ALSA allowing unprivileged DoS
• CVE-2022-2663: Firewall bypass when using nf_conntrack_irc
• CVE-2022-40307: Use-after-free in an EFI driver
• [CVE-2022-3586](

Hi folks,

I am running the aarch64 version of this distro my Raspberry Pi. However, the last update to the Linux kernel was version 5.11.4 back on March 7th as can be seen here: https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/aarch64/linux-aarch64

Is this distribution no longer maintained? Or when can we expect up-to-date kernel versions? Because nearly half a year without any kernel updates, which include security fixes, is not a very good look to be honest.

It could be nice to know historical reasons why arm64 is not just a sub platform of regular Arch Linux.

Is that different vision/conflicts between maintainers of amd64 and arm64 branches?

Or is it a short-sighted view of Arch Linux developers?

I made an AUR version of SteamLink for RPi.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/steamlink-raspberrypi/

It is a repackage of the official .deb installer, which downloads and installs the actual SteamLink client when run for the first time as an user. It should work on Rpi3 and 4, unfortunately on armv7h only, because the SteamLink client is 32-bit.

It is still a bit of a work-in-progress, so please test and give feedback. And if you are using pulseaudio and the sound is all garbled, here is a fix.

I figure a nice change of pace might just be showing off your current Arch Linux ARM setup.

Along the same lines also have a Pinebook Pro running the official Manjaro image. https://i.imgur.com/rcsBQDp.jpg
