Why wait. Start switching now.

Probably the easiest way to get a backup is backintime and an external disk. Although if you really care about your data you should use a 3-2-1 strategy.

The only site wide protest that counts is not to use it

Maybe TMI about his sex life

Yeah, it's why I'm glad we don't have the death penalty here. People can't be trusted with it.

You can be tried for murder

Murder. They murdered an innocent man.

It was still malicious code. A different attack for sure, but no less devastating for the victims.

However, manjaro places the button to enable it right next to enabling snaps and flatpaks. Both of which are perfectly safe to install if not safer than average packages.

The snap store has already been used to distribute malware, one guy lost a lot of money in crypto, and I'm sure it wasn't an isolated incident. I think it would be naive to think flathub isn't being targeted in the same way. Same advice as the aur, be cautious.

We'll drive off that bridge when we get to it

SLE is a fork of factory. Leap is based on SLES with community additions, it's why SUSE changing to ALP and dropping desktop support in the new version was such a big thing for the future of Leap.
