📰 Next version of Nyarch Linux will be based on Windows!!

🐧 Recently, a big vulnerability has hit Linux. The popular libary xz has been affected by a backdoor, introduced by the core maintainer itself. This proves how less secure are open source projects and Linux.
🎹 All it took to introduce a backdoor was 5 years of maintaining a project earning the FOSS community trust and 3 years of making some fake commits to gradually introduce the backdoor. And with just this effort, it took almost a month for the community to notice this! This infected package managed to hit beta and unstable versions of popular distributions! (Not Nyarch tho)

💻 We will now switch to Windows, since it is backed up by a good big corporation called Microsoft, that has never done anything sketchy and has added a lot of awesome features to their OS lately, like ads in the start menu, random processes in the background that makes your computer lag when you need it the most, invasive popups that suggest you to use good MIcrosoft software instead of third party one, updates that decide when your computer can turn on/off and much more!
