Blender has been added to galaxy-gremlins. Give it a try and provide feedback below. Then I can move it to stable. Thanks!
Works OK. (ran just a benchmark scene so will let the pro users have a proper answer :) )
Seems to work fine on my not very capable laptop. *:

How can you manually download it? I temporarily enabled the repo.
It does work fairly well until you run a scene with 2M+ tris objects (god forbid you try any operators), because the underlying renderer is ancient. Afaik they're rewriting it to vulkan just about right now.
I do not have gremlins repos enabled that's why I asked how download it, I meant manually from some mirror.
pacman -U https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/artix-linux/repos/galaxy-gremlins/os/x86_64/blender-17%3A4.2.0-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
Moved Blender to galaxy.
