There is absolutely nothing of worth in that article.

First of all, the team size is irrelevant. Even if the maintainers all end up in plane crashes or whatever, all that would happen is packages would “revert” to core Arch when a newer version is released.

Secondly, Secure Boot is a Microsoft-controlled technology that is not FOSS, and should not be considered mandatory like the author implies.

Lastly, the author conveniently doesn’t offer any evidence as to what exactly about Cachy’s “culture” (whatever that means) encourages AUR usage. The only thing I can think of is the fact that an AUR helper is preinstalled.

Not a single claim that isn’t incorrect on its face actually has any sources backing it up.

Can you elaborate on which part of this article has more worth than your average AI slop article?
