From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

TLDR: Open package repositories without some approval and oversight system, like AUR, will have even more problems in the future due to advanced coding AI and malicious foreign hackers.
Edit: Please normalize TLDR's on bot posts with just a link.
"Foreign hackers"
Foreign to who?
The article never said "foreign", you made that up.
I remember the good ole days when nobody cared enough about Linux to spread malware to it. Sigh. All these techbros that need to j their d to their power trips, dystopian surveillance, and shitty AI companies have probably started this. I even noticed a Linux hate sub on Lemmy. Imagine there being enough people forced to use Linux to create a hate community where they favor Microslop. Such strange times we live in.
OP is not a bot
Then they should've included a short TLDR even harder
