Currently with the latest pi os version, moonlight streaming's video hardware support doesn't work.

While it's the the fault of the moonlight devs (also you can compile it yourself to get it working), the binary package version has been broken for 2+ months now.

If I was using archlinux on x86 I wouldn't have problems like this.

Stale packages are a distro problem, not a platform one. You said so yourself, you can compile it and it works. Your problem isn’t with ARM. Arch on arm works fine.

While not ARMs fault, the pain is still very real for the end user. Compiling once is maybe ok, if you get lucky. But more often than not you end up needing to compile several things, and then again every time there is an update you want. Trying to automatic that is also a pain.

It's just so much extra work, that I'd rather spend working on my project, and not compiling.

I love that we in Linux world have compiling as an option for most apps, but there is a time and place for it.
