Some Nazi nut took arch and made it worse by adding exploits like “any user process can escalate to root” or “web app notifications can execute any binary”
Somehow the other Nazis are loving this mess and he’s getting millions in sponsorships from companies that want to be boycotted
In fact it is surprisingly unimpressive on a technical level. An Arch-based Linux distribution with the Hyprland tiling window manager. That’s it. The developer has grovelled to Musk and friends leading to rivers of gold flowing in. It’s everything that’s wrong with the US and tech billionaire oligarch class in general.
There’s obviously history here that I have missed. Can someone tell me about this distro and what makes it controversial?

Someone took Arch added some packages & configs and is now making $$$$
Actually, it’s also the someone that makes the distro controversial. (Spoiler: poorly veiled bigotry in link.)
