Oh dear, the situation with the Arch Linux AUR got a fair bit worse since GamingOnLinux initially covered the malicious packages.

      Debian users should receive their news 6-12 months after everyone else, change my mind

        Some people likes tested and stable software. It’s weird.

          Don’t forget that all the Arch users are doing a good part of that testing, too. Arch is a boon to Linux in general.

          Out of date and stable software you mean.

            Honestly, not even stable. Just arbitrarily frozen. Oftentimes with later releases having bugfixes that the user won’t see for another few years.

        That’s optimistically quick

      Whoa, this is blowing up. Chill, guys. I really think that sucks. If anything, with Arch being bleeding edge and all of that, at least you’re showing early the tough wake up the other distros will have to do in relation to malware after Linux’ increasing popularity. Time to brush those SELinux and apparmor bits, even.

      But, now, we Debian users are okay, (btw, 😎).

      Huh, you really feel schadenfreude over another reputable project being hit by/having to deal with malware? And all the people who might be affected by it?

      That is not something that would ever cross my mind.

      Upside to Debian! Never have to worry about shit like this. Downside to Debian, you have to use Debian.

      Nothing says “socialist vibes” like gloating over other Linux users

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.
