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.

The last time I remember something like this happening was from mobile users complaining in mass that their $100 phones couldn't play games and they pulled the mobile app because of it. In that case, probably dealing with thousands of actual children yelling at them on Discord or wherever.

They could definitely do more to distance themselves from these groups of massive (literal) babies, but I think the insufferability of the mobile and Arch communities are well known enough to others that I totally understand.
