Arch as a base is being used for so much more, and by so many more now, so it’s great to see the investment coming in. SteamOS will benefit from this I think, along with the hardware platforms that use Arch+KDE Plasma as the back and frontend. Good times!

Fantastic news!
I was already very happy about Valve’s investment earlier this year, but more funding and attention from different sources is absolutely amazing!! Looks like the future is bright

Tons of boring formal specifications and paperwork. Exactly the kind of stuff everyone needs but prefers to be done by someone else. Good luck at any rate!

“In addition, the ALPM project plans to significantly improve the handling of signatures and cryptographic verifications. Right now, Arch Linux package management primarily depends on a stateful GnuPG keyring.”
I think this is a good idea.
