DuckStation now refuses to build in Arch Linux package environments and announces end of Linux support (github.com)

Scripts: Remove PKGBUILD

I originally provided this an alternative to the broken AUR packages.

However, it seems that Arch users would rather use broken packages and keep complaining to me instead of their packager. I specifically forbid packages for DuckStation (see README.md), and there's no way to request removal of these packages without handing my details over to a distribution I want nothing to do with.

So this is step one. Next step will be removing Linux support entirely, because I'm sick of the headaches and hacks for an operating system that only compromises 2% of the userbase, and I don't even use myself. But I'm hoping the Linux community will be reasonable, because as someone giving up my free time and not being compensated in any way, I shouldn't have to deal with this.

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

Aren't license changes only applicable to forward development? Like if the project was GPL up until state Y, then switches to something else, that license only applies to ∆Y?

Yes. They did the relicensing a year ago, so that's a decently sized delta.

Just fucking crib it anyways and either play dumb or threaten him to sue. He won't. IP laws shouldn't be respected anyways.
