That is a brilliant news.
There's just so many new projects that work extremely good with arch.
As a novice linux user, Arch is so simple for me to work on (ironically?
Honestly I don't know!)
My raspberry pi 2 runs on arch now. I access it with ssh.

Hello folks.
Given some impetus by another project I have finally spent some time
working out why my OMX audio code and piespeakup did not work on Arch
Linux for the Pi.
I didn't think it could have been anything very much but today I have
debugged piespeakup, my fork of espeakup and have discovered the error.
In the next couple of days what I will be doing is:
1. Amending the Makefile of the library libilctts.
2. Amending the build process for piespeakup converting the build.sh
script into a Makefile.
3. Changing the startup method of piespeakup from SysVInit in Raspbian
Jessie to systemd in line with Arch, since Raspbian Jessie now uses
systemd. I still prefer SysVInit but we have to move with the times and
if we can make Raspbian and Arch use the same build and install process
this is more tidy.
4. Documenting the whole process of making an Arch image using my
scripts from one of my github repos and how to get non-stuttering
speakup running in the console of Arch Linux, and making it a page on
the Web site.
5. Amending the current page which outlines how to do the above on
Raspbian.
So, this will give us stutter-free SpeakUp in both Raspbian and Arch.
Given enough impetus I will also remove the outdated Raspbian images on
the Web site, replace them with new images (including the ssh file in
the /boot partition), and adding Arch images for both armv6 and armv7.
The Raspbian images will again be Raspbian Jessie Lite with the Mate
desktop but the requirement for a USB dongle, since espeak via
speech-dispatcher stutters as before.
Maybe with a following wind I'll start work on a speech-dispatcher audio
module for the OMX audio code.
I still have on my todo list making a security tips page from Tim
Chase's good list post and making a textual description of the
Beaglebone Black, again assisted by Tim's description of the board. I
now have a BBB running Debian here and I have to say I like it very much.
