Is that why their flat pack repo was so slow and failed.

First Arch and malware in the AUR now a ddos on Fedora. This is an attack on FOSS.

Yup, there are attscks. Also ddos on Codeberg and the xz-utils backdoor.

These are two unrelated events you speak of.

The Arch users got sick of all the jokes.

Microsoft "blackops" is working overtime...

[-] Mio@feddit.nu 1 points 1 week ago

What can the users do about it? Maybe it is time to look into more distribution systems instead?

[-] that_leaflet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It’s resolved now.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Why not ddos manjaro? It would be funny.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
