it's wine with bubble wrap, dxvk, and a shit ton of game specific hacks

I use !aur a lot to go look at pkgbuild history
Nvidia
fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me
only for extraordinarily cursed situations where games need it in wine/proton
I saw two pkgbuild from the user, I don't really know what I'm looking at in pkgbuilds generally but these were dead obvious something was bogus . downloading arbitrary files from some url like (segs)(dot)(lol) hopefully sufficiently defanged
don't these distros package a Wayland session you can select at the greeter/ login window?
on principle it's good that somebody tries to keep it alive but libre and suckless suck for day to day desktop use
pick your compatibility poison I guess, the ubiquitous shell or 10-15GB of flatpak dependencies
vlc was already like this on arch for a long time, literally took just a moment to look at the optional dependencies and grab the latest "actually give me everything lmao" package group
I thought their priority was vanilla OS. I hope that project has the cash to survive too
I still have no idea how to find the right record to read but at least I can run a journalctl --follow till my crash happens
the result is a perpetually growing pile of bandaids and things never getting fixed properly whether it's in badly behaved games or drivers or things that should get addressed in wine and won't be
