Since it's an open source project, it's pretty easy to make a fork and readd Linux support.

The licence doesn't permit derivative works, so no forks and no downstream packages.

Arch linux. Hmm. Could it be because of the users? Lately arch linux has become the most popular distro for people trying linux for the first time. Are they all congregating on duckstation's github to cry about it?

Sounds a lot like I would like Debian to stop shipping Xscreensaver.

I think he should just drop linux support.
no need to whine or complain.
"not doing linux builds anymore, here is the source, build it yourself if you want", done.

Just grep the source for "wayland" and you'll see what I mean.

and

# Refuse to build in Arch package environments

MATCHES ".*archlinux.*")

Not sure if there is more to this, but it seems like it screws over X11 users for no reason (I'm still using a 1050Ti).

Imagine if Linux developers building the libraries this was built on where as petty.
