Arch Linux Website Hit by DDoS and Temporarily Limited to IPv6 (linuxiac.com)

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.

I feel like this all started around that time that there was that article that mentioned the most popular desktop environments on Arch Linux from repo stats where KDE plasma was the highest with over double gnome.

Clearly gnome foundation salty

with some interactions I've seen from GNOME fanboys on mastodon...honestly wouldn't put it past them. /s

The attacks started before that retarded non-news post. And no one actually cares about DE's, other that youngings still in their hopping phase.
