    You sure the guys running pacman are sitting on the right hand side of the bus? Seems a bit more like they should be in the back doing a skill check for luck and rolling a d20

      The recent attacks have been against the AUR.
      Which pacman doesn’t reference.

      In terms of sneaking in malicious code, that’s possible in the official repos of all operating systems, including the windows store.

      The actual meme speaks more to the fact that windows update is enforced unless you jump through enormous flaming hoops, and it will measurably make your already running system worse as it forces the installation of things the user wouldn’t want (ie copilot) or removes functionality they do (classic control panel).

      But you know… I use Arch btw.
