I'm torn on how we handle arch here. It's a better user experience if they simply install
qmk
from AUR, but this implies that they have to install some things manually first. Also, why does libffi need to be installed manually?There was a problem hiding this comment.

The problem I wanted to solve: we do not control the AUR package, @Curry does, but nobody can expect him to keep up with the releases.
We do have control over the PYPI package.
So I'd rather leave the decision to the users.
libffi: It wasn't pulled in as a dependency for any of the packages and the pip installation fails without it as one of the modules requires it.

Maybe we could work with @Curry to get direct access and setup a pipeline for releases. It's a direction I'd like to go anyway (for example I plan to auto-update the homebrew update once I figure out how.)

I have added
libffi
to the dependencies, so in-case that package isn't installed, it will be installed with the qmk package.There was a problem hiding this comment.

I can see that happening in the (near) future, but for now I'm focusing fixing our current docs, so less user stuck following the getting started guide.
