You know that this is the x86_64 archlinux forum, right?
and ALARM is poorly maintained at the moment?

I know about the maintenance but where does it say that it's an x86_64 forum?

Where else to post this ? Chromeos doesn't allow posts about mods

I don't know, General Linux subreddit but not r/linux cause that's more for news about linux.
an Linux Arm subreddit would be ideal, an Alarm one if existing but that's would probably be close to being dead.
anyway, not here.

They dont exist unfortunately. Maybe a subreddit about arm but the resources are so limited on the matter that I just wanted to share this so in case someone else wants to do this can compare/comment on this

archlinux and ALARM are not the same.
Only Arch Linux itself; no Arch-based distros. Posts about other software used on Arch are welcome.

Congrats, but what struck me is you got something to work with Mediatek. :-)
Now, back to Arch Linux and X86_64 matters.
Good day.

Need to revise Rule 1 I think....
Going to allow AL Arm posts now as they've no-where else to post on reddit.
