CachyOS

"CachyOS" redirects here, but there is no mention of it anywhere on the page.

The redirect should be deleted. David G (talk) 19:21, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

I just arrived here for the same reason. However, I am not sure if the resolution should be to remove the redirect or mention CachyOS under derivatives. Nuretok (talk) 06:32, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

ddos august 2025

there 2 edits [1][2] from @Collbrothers and @Ho1Ai

on [1] As of 24 August 2025 the attacks remain

from the given source [3] there is no mention on the date

on [2] As of 30 August 2025 the attack was discontinued

with comment https://archlinux.org/ - site, which was under DDoS (AUR - https://aur.archlinux.org/). Now it works. I'm not sure, when this attack was discontinued, but at least the site didn't work on 2025/08/29 at 6:32 AM UTC+3 and it was OK on 2025/08/30 at approximately 8:15 PM

i think this feel like Wikipedia:No original research case. looking at [4] it may not completely stop yet.

i recommend to wait until there is announcement or another source that report about this

until then i removed both statement for now

AUR malware case - June 11, 2026

Recently, large amount of packages in the Arch User Repository were being infected, as could be seen here, or here, and mentioned in this official announcement here. I think the incident is pretty notable for me, so how about adding it to the AUR section of the article? Exploraz (talk) 00:13, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

maybe here is better List of security hacking incidents Lokiretro (talk) 03:38, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
