S03E50 - Slackware AArch64 Roadmap, June 2025
In this episode, we explore the latest enhancements to Slackware AArch64 and share what’s coming next on the roadmap.
Ausnahmsweise ein guter Community-Kommentar:
"Lieber #Tagesspiegel,
schon wieder wird der Begriff "#sozialSchwach" genutzt. Dies habe ich erst vor einigen Tagen kritisiert. Arme Menschen sind nicht "sozial schwach", arme Menschen sind #arm, sozio-ökonomisch schwach, finanziell schwach, aber doch nicht sozial schwach. Arme Menschen können sozial stark sein. Viele arme Menschen sind #ehrenamtlich aktiv, kümmern sich in der #Nachbarschaft, gehen für immobile alte Leute einkaufen etc. Das ist sozial stark und hat nichts mit der finanziellen Situation zu tun. Sozial schwach sind Reiche, die #Steuern hinterziehen, die andere ausbeuten um noch reicher zu werden oder sich durch #Steuerflucht ihre Verantwortung entziehen." (von "SchlumpfSchimpf")
@GrapheneOS dear #RaspberryPi, now that #ARM acquired you, please swing in on a vine and make that ARM-based #Linux #smartphone we all wished would exist
One way that Arm supports Linux is through their Arm GNU Toolchain. This way developers have an easier time working with new features in the latest architectures!

Judd folded his ARMs, frowning. It was beyond him why Lewis had ARMed the Naterites, an unforgettable act, and settlers had died because of it. Rich river-bottom land called to be farmed, and settlers heeded the call, only to have heathens sweep through at night.
Dwod had given them this new untamed land. They’d explained this to the Naterite elders, but they didn’t seem to understand.
He looked over at Lewis, held by two strong Brothers. It was a shame, and he was even the son of an Anointed One.
There was nothing for it, though. “String him up.”

Thank you to Arm for being a silver sponsor for Flock to Fedora. :)
Arm has been working in the open source world to improve support for their architecture. Fedora is happy to welcome contributions for alternative architectures!

Don't forget to doff your caps, tug your forelock, and praise the lord, that our rightful liege and master does honour his subjects with a day of rest and celebration.

A small procrastination project with NetBSD Arm. Feel free to visit the web. The counter tracker is saved locally and will increase with every refresh.
Well, this has been my smoothest arm experience yet.
Download a generic arm64 iso, boot to it, install. Nice.
NixOS 25.05 on gnome works great. And nearly all of my apps work as well.
Sadly #gitkraken and #Spotify both seem to have no arm64 builds :(. Two apps I do use on a daily basis.
Wonder If it's possible to run it via emulation, or help these packages to get native.
That is a good question. Is there something like #Rosetta for #linux ?
Can I run x86 software on this #arm box?

Linux on #ARM has its own frustrations 
I'm just going to avoid ARM until the software stack is mature. Which it just isn't yet.
The Nim language doesn't even support aarch64. HOW?!? 
@tuxedocomputers and @nitrokey delivers hardware which is more open, capable of running Linux very well. Both European companies.
@frameworkcomputer and @system76 are US based companies, but delivers great Linux support as well.
#Fairphone with @e_mydata preinstalled (by @murena) delivers a de-googled Android phone with high focus on #privacy. Both Fairphone and Murena are European companies.
The #ARM architecture platform is designed by a UK company. But this platform is also highly extensive and each vendor manufacturing ARM CPUs have the possibilities to add their own extensions to it, which many mobile phone vendors and Apple has done. What we're missing is probably more an ARM based platform manufactured in Europe, which is used by the other computer and mobile/tablet vendors.
There are sane and more reliable alternatives, even though some of the aspect of them could be a bit better if you aim for a complete de-coupling from USAs technology.
