Arch Linux

Pacback

https://github.com/JustinTimperio/pacback Being at the head of Linux kernel and application development means access to the latest features but also often means dealing with the latest bugs. While I don’t run into major bugs often, when they happen, they cripple my productivity. Reversing individual packages is generally a slow manual process and while some tools exist, none meet my needs. In particular, support for downgrading AUR packages is extremely lacking.

Deploying Arch Linux VM's in XCP-ng

Arch Linux has a reputation for being obtuse to novice and expert Linux users alike. Furthermore, Arch is rarely supported by VM applications and cloud server providers. After deploying my first XCP-ng hosts, I struggled to find a guide on the viability of installing Arch Linux as a Xen guest. As with many things Arch, it turned out to be much easier than it seemed on the surface. Thanks to the amazing work of the Arch Community, deploying Arch guests was extremely easy and performant.
