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.

Why would I tell people about something I've never heard of before? Go shove your snide attitude up your ass.
Also pretty disingenuous to compare a single incident of being hacked with a pattern of sloppiness and negligence.
Well, you've heard about it now so I fully expect you to take up the crusade like you have against manjaro, unless you're biased/tribalist.
No it's not, lol. Being infected with malware is worse than anything the Manjaro team has done. If you disagree, then you're just not worth taking seriously.
Let's be honest though, you're not worth taking seriously because you just do what you think will make you look good in front of your peers.
If you thinking getting hacked once is comparable to a multi-year pattern of being clearly negligent and sloppy, then there's not much hope for you.
One is significantly worse than the other. Getting hacked is significantly worse than anything the Manjaro team did. My point is that what happened to Linux Mint was worse than anything that happened to Manjaro, but people like you never get up in arms about it.
You might want to brush up on your reading comprehension if this is difficult for you to understand.
Getting hacked is something that can happen to anyone. Being negligent to the point of ddosing the AUR multiple times is isn't.
You can't seriously be this obtuse.
Lol. It's funny that you're actually sitting here defending neglecting security.
Thanks for cementing in my mind that you, and people like you, are not worth taking seriously.
Either you're a troll or just out of touch with reality.
Goodbye.
Oh wait, maybe you can actually be this obtuse.
Good luck out there. Must be difficult for someone like you.
Manjaro fanboys are truly a special breed.
