  • No, docker-desktop (an aur package) just explicitly requires a version of qemu that is not available in the repos anymore, as Arch is a rolling release distro and therefore only has the most recent stable version* in the official repos. This means that maintainers of other packages (official and AUR) need to always test compatibility against dependencies. In this case, the docker-desktop maintainer specifically requires qemu with a version older than 10.2.0, however, 10.2.0 is the current version in the repos. As 10.2.0 is equal to and not less than 10.2.0, it can’t use the version available in the repos.

    Either wait one day, or update manually with sudo pacman -Syud (-d skips dependency checks, so it will ignore docker-desktops request. This may lead to docker-desktop breaking tho.)

  • The difference being that one is a billion dollar company whose only job is to stay online, for which they are being paid even more money while building and supporting fascist regimes in order to grow even more, while the other is a handful of people with two hosts, paid/financed barely enough, without doing nothing but that (serving Linux anonymously).

    Also, AWS went down due to the stupidest shit imaginable.
    A Raid 6 Array going down, that’s the first time I heard of that. Either one/two drives were dead for longer, or three drives just died instantly. That’s just unlucky for everyone. And instead of said fascist supporters (read: fascists) going down, it’s core infra of the Libre/FOSS existence.
