I know it. I’m literally typing this on a Raspberry Pi. I used to run Arch Linux on it, but Arch Linux on ARM has severe issues. It’ll literally go months with no package updates.
One day I’ll get brave and switch it to Gentoo. Just need to put together a build server first.
The maintainer for ALARM literally went on vacation and never came back. All commits are automations on the GitHub account. That’s why Asahi switched to Fedora.
Yocto and compile it all yourself. Arch people might think they are cool because they have to use a console to install their de but creating the devicetree for your board and then only get a console over a serial connection or ssh is the true linux experience.

SteamOS on the Frame may soon alleviate some of those woes, given it’s based on Arch and has an ARM processor iirc. Can’t hurt, anyhow.
I have had great success running NixOS on my Pi. You can build software on your main computer and remote deploy with SSH :)
