@archlinux now has an official image for WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) and it is officially (re)distributed by Microsoft (and I'm guilty for it)! 🤯

I wrote a sum up blog post:

The reasons to provide such an image, submitting the official proposal, tackling the implementation, how @fedora coincidentally helped (💙) and how Microsoft showed interest in officially adding this image to their official WSL Linux distributions manifest.

Robin Candau · Arch Linux now has an official WSL image…and it is officially (re)distributed by Microsoft! A few months ago, the eventuality of building and providing an official Arch Linux WSL image (Windows Subsystem for Linux - a Microsoft solution allowing to run Linux environments within Windows) was brought to the table within the Arch Linux staff. This subject was actually explored a few years back but got turned down due to multiple concerns and lack of interest at the time. But WSL have come a long way since then and minds evolved to the point where people were generally willing to reconsider it.

I'm glad #GarudaLinux / #ArchLinux is setup with automatic snapshots... first a kernel update made my machine not boot, then this last update broke my wifi. Keep having to restore from a snapshot for about a week, update again, then it's good for a while.

Such is the trade-off for being on the bleeding edge I guess.

Linux Is Best

" We have people all over the world and so we are not subject to any particular legal jurisdiction. "
Well, that's not how the justice system pretty much works, anywhere. If push comes to shove, legally, somebody has to be responsible somewhere. You can't claim you are a stateless and lawless organization.
" Well, we started in Random 1 and now most of our developers are now in Randon 2, but our legal entity and representation is in Random 3.
Random 3 is where your jurisdiction is, and in this case, that's New York, USA.

Arch Linux is a wonderful open source operating system. I like it. Many people like it. But my list is to find digital services that are outside US jurisdiction. For that one criteria, you don't qualify.

I forget who the Arch Linux expert out there is, but I can't get wireguard to resolve DNS at all. And my laptop has the exact same setup, and it works fine. I have tried everything I can think of or look up. If anybody out there can help me shed some light on this, I'm using a ProtonVPN config. Thanks! And a boost would be welcome if you're amenable... ;>)

Can't get rofi to work as a dmenu drop-in replacement to be able to authenticate bluetooth earbuds from blueman

programming.dev/post/28587866

programming.devCan't get rofi to work as a dmenu drop-in replacement to be able to authenticate bluetooth earbuds from blueman - programming.devHello once again lovely people. I am trying to setup bluetooth on my laptop, and Im using blueman as a frontend. I can see the earbuds, can attempt to connect to them, but I get a dunst notification as follows: (A) Bluetooth Pairing request for: Fairbuds (20:24:04:08:65:C6) Confirm value for authentication: xyzpqr In the rofi-dunst documentation it mentions symlinking rofi to dmenu which will achieve the same result as calling rofi with the -dmenu flag. I have done that. As such in my dunstrc file, I have the default line (which should work after symlinking rofi to dmenu): dmenu = /usr/bin/dmenu -p dunst However, when I try to connect to the earbuds and click the dunst notification I get the following rofi window: [https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/6afdf873-997d-4614-8e91-f369752b153f.jpeg] (Sorry, for some reason while that window was open I could not take a screenshot) Any ideas how I can connect and authenticate to bluetooth devices? Thanks in advance!

For development on my laptop I mostly use Chimera Linux in WSL. Sometimes I need a more… conventional distro. For that I've been using Debian, and not my preferred Arch Linux. Arch is officially x86_64 only, so I originally wrote it off on this Snapdragon X machine.

Tonight I remembered Arch Linux ARM exists, and they do have generic aarch64 root file systems for download. I did a `wsl --import` and it's working well. Not sure why I didn't think of this earlier.

Screenshot of Window Terminal showing the output of fastfetch in WSL indicating that it's running Arch Linux ARM.

Well, I did a crazy thing this morning and over-hauled my main server (again). Very happy with it now. I was able to seamlessly connect the network to the various services, so I wasn't without music for very long. And I'm adding a BIND server. What was great is that the Apache and Docker integration for my blog went without a hitch. Since I'm using a different distro than last time, some implementation details are always different...
