So you're saying it reached escape velocity and survived the death of its leader?

I don't really see a problem. It wasn't like rare books nobody had access to. I mean, AI in general yeah. But not the book part.

All of them.

I feel like I'd need to check the wiki less if pacman had flags that made more sense lol. Plus so many variations of commands the wiki warns "this will break your shit".

I really like Arch, I'm using CachyOS, it's been great. But I do miss apt lol. Maybe that's just because I was used to it though. Update and upgrade being two totally different things is also extremely counterintuitive.

This is the type of shit that makes devs not want to support Linux. Respect volunteers.

Oh, that's weird, you'd think there'd be a way to tell whatever is on air to download a specific tag. Or like one that downloads the other indirectly. I haven't looked into pkgbuild or aur.

Having read a lot of the thread it sounds like that's sort of what's going on with the version on the AUR. Sounds like it is the old GPL v3 version and the dev doesn't wanna put the new CC BY-NC-ND version on the AUR themselves because they don't want to make an account there (understandable, not saying they should have to).

The whole situation is sort of sad, but ultimately devs working on free (as in money, I now -ND is not libre) software need to do what they need to do to remain sane. If it's a CC BY-NC-ND emulator without Linux support versus no emulator at all I think we'd all want the first.

I hope this thread can be an eye opener for folks to remember to treat volunteer devs with respect. (Not implying anyone here was part of the problem.)

I submitted a PR and bug report for something I was using recently to better help arch users install it in the future. I encourage other folks to do that. If you ever have trouble installing something, just submit a little PR with tweaks to the README that would've helped you. Oftentimes they'll accept them. It benefits everyone.

~11 months ago they relicensed from GPL 3 to CC BY-NC-ND.
