I am halting any kind of work on archlinux, parabola and pacman due to:
* Archlinux not giving a shit about aarch64 and actively blocks any kind of development for it
* ArchLinuxArm not replying to me and evidently removing my issue from their bug tracker about it
* Parabola, because Denis 'GNUToo' Carikli is keep kicking me from an IRC for no fucking reason
* Pacman is a trash package manager which source code should be put on a flash disk and thrown into a fire which would be a major help to address replication crisis in the computer science
The unfinished work that would provide a full compatibility of Parabola and ArchLinuxArm with all sunxi boards that currently builds a functional u-boot for OLIMEX Teres-A64 and can be easily adjusted to build other sunxi boards is provided on https://gist.github.com/Kreyren/97eef26fb6c92e3f6188b72b4dc2c26a
The preliminary ArchLinuxArm image for OLIMEX Teres-A64 which is using a hotfix with armbian u-boot, bootloader, kernel and kernel modules (due to lack of parabola's compatence to implement the required infrastructure) is provided on https://git.dotya.ml/kreyren/teres-a64-arch-preliminary
Fuck you arch and fuck you GNUToo

EtamThe other option is to get an ARM laptop. There are not many options there and all have some drawbacks: #Chromebook are very restricted and closed platforms (correct me if I'm wrong). #Pinebook has Allwinner cpu, only 2GB of ram and Mali gpu, which has no open drivers. The same goes with #TERES. #Novena would be perfect if was available as a ready to use device, not Build It From Scratch, where you need to buy your own LCD panel and stuff.
So, what are your opinions?
Simon D. ⏚So Sad that the #TERES A64 is out of stock since more than a year… a 1920x1680px screen version is announced ! https://www.olimex.com/Products/DIY-Laptop/KITS/TERES-A64-BLACK/open-source-hardware

But from time to time some light shines into the dark.
