@herb_fargus said in How to install retropi on arch system since apacman has been dropped?:
Not to be rude but generally those using arch know their way around Linux enough to sort things out.
I am unsure what you implying here/ what the message is . Do you intent to say that I should know the process of setting up a retro pie system in Arch since I use Arch. And should be well versed in matters concerning Linux so that when issues arise I could handle that myself . Maybe you can clarify your statement.
Is there a reason you aren't using a Debian based distro?
The wiki guide really was just a hodgepodged method of installing retroarch and emulationstation, not really retropie. Retropie was developed primarily for Debian based systems
The benefit is that Arch is an rolling release and the package management in Arch is something prefer.
