• NixOS + the Arch Linux kernel = badassery
  2 projects | /r/linux | 17 Mar 2023

  So, the "bleeding edge" of https://github.com/archlinux/linux? That's going to just get you a release candidate of the mainline kernel, with no Arch-specific patches. You can get that on NixOS by using linuxPackages_testing.

• sd-encrypt, LUKS partition unlock and YubiKey - Erratic behavior
  3 projects | /r/archlinux | 31 Jan 2023

  Thanks for the suggestion. I'm guessing I have to do it with the Arch Linux fork of the linux kernel?

• snd_usb_audio module not working!
  2 projects | /r/linuxaudio | 17 Oct 2022

  I've now downloaded v6.0.2-arch1 and confirmed the patch isn't applied. Idk why but will check on archs forums.

  I've confirmed that in v6.0.2-arch1 the patch isn't applied. But it is on the master branch.

• Vanilla Kernel using Arch Build System?
  2 projects | /r/archlinux | 22 Sep 2022
• A few changes to joborun development
  2 projects | /r/joborun | 7 Aug 2022

  Lately there appear to be changes in Arch as well, making it hard to keep up as well. Let's examine for example the kernel building. It was the tradition and commitment by arch to use direct source from upstream, and only modify what is necessary to make software comply with the entire distro. Now, with linux-5.19 appearing, and maybe with the last versions of 5.18, instead of using directly a tar ball from kernel.org Arch is using its own source library https://github.com/archlinux/linux/tags made by forking Torvalds' git. The traditional config file is gone, and all configuration and patching takes place at Arch's forked source.

• AVIC setup in Q2/22
  1 project | /r/VFIO | 4 Jun 2022

  It's not present in 5.15/16 and i noticed that lockdep_assert_preemption_disabled was added in the 5.17. As arch's kernel is by default PREEMPT_DYNAMIC, tried preempt=voluntary and the warnings went away.
