    I don’t know anything really about Stormux or HomeAssistantOS, but ArchLinuxARM is honestly going down the tubes. I use it a lot, but I’m pretty well decided to switch away from it.

    The ArchLinuxARM package repos are constantly ridiculously out of date, and the folks in charge of ArchLinuxARM a) aren’t doing anything to fix it and b) won’t let the community help or even talk about the issue. (They lock threads and otherwise shut down conversation on the topic.)

    It’s a bummer. Arch is a great OS (coughasidefromsystemdcough) and it’s nice to be able to run it on a Raspberry Pi. But as it is, it’s hard to see it as usable for real-world use cases. Maybe someone someday will create a new Arm-focused version of Arch (maybe Arch proper will even decide to start supporting Arm) unrelated to the existing ArchLinuxARM project. But for now, it’s terrible.
