I know this isn’t the kind of news Linux fans were hoping to read on Christmas Day, but unfortunately, on a day meant for faith, kindness, and hope, others are choosing to act in exactly the opposite way.
Many of you probably remember the problems Arch faced just a few months ago due to massive DDoS attacks, which mainly affected the AUR. Sadly, just when it seemed those issues were behind, a new large-scale DDoS attack on Christmas Day once again made the distribution’s website effectively inaccessible.
SteamOS builds off arch pretty rarely so unless they plan on ddosing for 6 months this doesnt impact steamOS at all.
Its probably someone who got banned from the community trying to make a statement.
I know (or more honestly guessed so). It was meant to be a joke, hence the tinfoil hat reference ;)
