YMMV, but I was able to get https://archlinuxarm.org/ https://archlinuxarm.org/ running on my pis without too much head-scratching.
arch is on 5.5.6 as of 3/1/2020 (https://www.archlinux.org/download/ https://www.archlinux.org/download/), and it seems like the ARM porters are pretty good about keeping their project in sync (two day delay): http://de3.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/os/rpi/ http://de3.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/os/rpi/.
My best guess is that by April or May, Arch will do the minor version bump, and then a couple days later Arch ARM will get it.
It doesn't have the same hardware/software synergy that you like, but it might be a fun weekend experiment.
- baseballdork 7y agoArch is on 5.5.13 and has already been marked out of date: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux/ https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux/ I would guess that we'll get 5.6 in the coming days.
- gen220 7y agoInteresting, can you cure my ignorance on why they don't claim to include 5.5.13 kernel in the main download page? I'm not super familiar with how distros are packaged up for consumers Is the main download page the rough equivalent to `master`, and your link is like the feature branch for merging the latest kernel version into the distro?
- arccy 7y agoThe download page is for the monthly generated install isos, during the install process it will sync with repos and install the latest version
- gen220 7y agoThank you! That makes perfect sense, actually: no sense crippling install the .iso with (potentially) unstable program versions, to stymie the install process.
