PKGBUILDs VS Lakka-LibreELEC

Unfortunately, as another commenter has pointed out, communication between the maintainers and users has become extremely intransparent and sluggish, especially as of late. I have not tried getting in touch myself so feel free to try, but judging by how the recent PR for the linux-aarch64 package went, I wouldn't be too optimistic.

Arch Linux ARM does support C4 with mainline kernel, though requires some patching and custom packages - see https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/pull/1840

https://archlinuxarm.org/ supports ARMv8, tho not sure if it supports this specific chip

There is an ARM port though.. https://archlinuxarm.org/

I have then opened a pull request aiming to fix the issue by updating the kernel package to the latest stable release (lately 6.1.12, also chosen as LTS). This pull request has been kept up-to-date with every new 6.1.y release but sadly been ignored so far (it's been 3 weeks), like many others.

Hello. Since I’m following the progress of Asahi Linux and its Arch Linux distro I’m wondering if you have a plan to release an official image on https://archlinuxarm.org

I've not used it, but why not https://archlinuxarm.org/? Or there's an ARM-based remix of Endeavour, for example.

These would be awesome for build servers, and testing.

I really like Graviton from AWS, and Apple Silicon is great, I really hope we move towards ARM64 more. ArchLinux has https://archlinuxarm.org , I would love to use these to build and test arm64 packages.

For a fairly popular port: Arch Linux ARM

Lakka I believe formats its SD/Main Drive as a Linux filesystem that cannot be accessed easily from a non-Linux device. More info here: https://github.com/libretro/Lakka-LibreELEC/wiki/Accessing-Lakka-filesystem Note: Samba and FTP allow you to wirelessly move files like BIOS files (which go in the storage/system folder as it appears when connected via Samba or FTP, btw) to your Lakka system, and I recommend these methods.

I have an idea for you:

Endless hours of nostalgic fun, especially if you invite a colleague from the same generation.

If you're looking for retro, I'd recommend Lakka OS. I've used it in the past, the only real issue was trying to get to the BIOS/formatting the drive (but I was using a Laptop with fastboot enabled).

Plenty of uses! Install a modern MacOS with Open Core Legacy Patcher (https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.html). Install Lakka and turn it into a retro gaming device (https://www.lakka.tv). Etc etc. Your model has a Thunderbolt connection so you can get an Thunderbolt enclosure + SSD and install the OS there. It’ll be a lot faster than the internal HDD. Of course you can swap the internal drive but with iMacs it’s always a hassle.

Check out https://www.lakka.tv/ is an OS designed for retro gaming on low powered devices like thin client PC's and rasberry Pi's etc.
