[arch-dev-public] Windows Subsystem Linux - Arch Linux as official container?

Hello everybody, I would like to start a discussion about Windows Subsystem Linux and Arch linux. You all might know that Microsoft has increased their participation in open source software a lot since Satya Nadella is CEO of Microsoft. They even implemented a subsystem on Windows 10 for

Re: [arch-dev-public] Windows Subsystem Linux - Arch Linux as official container?

Whoa, this is so good to bash that I can't decide where to begin. Microsoft started noticing Linux (or rather stopped to fight it so valiantly) when they realized where the money is. On this ground alone I don't see a reason to help some corporation in putting our logo on their website so they

Re: [arch-dev-public] New dbscripts maintainer (aka: Making dbscripts great again!)

Sure, I am not suggesting a rewrite; but when we do it a slightly different approach could be taken. Also to explain it further: Whether I or someone else is reviewing PRs I suggest a way how we could manage such major refactorings. ATM the diff between gbfs and our origin branch reads as: 80

[arch-dev-public] Abandoning nvidia 340xx packages - does anyone want them?

I do not have any devices which require me to run nvidia 340xx packages and I haven't tested them for quite some time now. The most recent nvidia devices which require 340xx because the regular nvidia package dropped support for them are now 8-9 years old. I'm not really sure there is merit in

Hi, Once again, debug repos came up in IRC. AFAIK progress on this is blocked by Pierre not responding/merging patches. gbs has implemented quite a lot in dbscripts itself, but we still need someone to come up with a migration plan, testing and deploying the whole thing. Eli offered to take the

Hi all. I feel bad about this. I was not transparent at all about my plans and got lost in a pile of projects which are only slowly progressing. I started improving dbscripts to make it easier to work with; which led to creating a Docker base image to be able to test the latter. Most of my free
