Months of warning ? I am not sure if that makes any sense at all. I noticed the problem when I tried to create a new droplet. The mere fact that DO can not support Arch shows the company’s inability to work with the best of Linux technologies. I wouldn’t put a huge blame on DO since they just started and probably they jumped into Arch a bit too quickly. Anyway, I am glad that I moved to Linode. I will definitely consider DO when I have a non-Arch requirement.
@ FlevasGR Arch is a rolling release. All they need do is create 1 image for the forseeable future. Job done.
Unfortunately, DigitalOcean no longer supports Arch at this time. The currently supported platforms are: Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, Fedora, and CoreOS.
