It's kind of funny how you didn't pick up on the connection between 3 and 4 ๐

Give me a compositor with at least some of the capabilities of Awesome, AND the ability to apply custom shaders to windows like picom does, and some none alpha-quality VNC solutions, then I make seriously consider a permanent move.
So it's going to be X11 for at least 2-3 years to come for me. And this is based purely on practical and workflow reasoning. It's is also a logical, technical, and fully informed choice, unlike the entirety of your comment.
AUR malware and DDoS attacks are not even correlated, for there to be any minimally credible speculation about causation.
Such "speculation" would only come from someone very unintelligent who would see two news items about X within a smallish time frame (weeks), then obtusely start drawing connection lines between them where there is probably* none.
* We don't know who the malware spreaders or the DDoS attackers are. So we can't be 100% certain about anything. But indications point to script kiddies being behind AUR malware attempts. And a more sophisticated entity behind the DDoS attacks, not just some kid or an adult with a grudge paying a botnet, like some are sillily suggesting. One should also not forget that there was always the conspiracy theory that DDoS protection service providers are behind most DDoS attacks (before AI crawlers accidentally took that crown).
The attacks started before that retarded non-news post. And no one actually cares about DE's, other that youngings still in their hopping phase.
Arch community is kind of rough
What?
The AUR is already officially mirrored on GitHub, at least since the last attack (that I heard of).
For the Wiki, I'm not sure if database dumps are provided for people to provide proper mediawiki mirrors. If they're not, you should propose the idea. It's a good one (as long as the dumps themselves are not hosted in one place that can be DDoS-ed itself).
Funny replies you got.
I don't know if any of them actually is, but it is claimed that GPT5 was tuned for the Indian tech sector, and the model fans replying to you sound like they belong to the target audience ๐
Waiting for imaginary events to happen is not needed. We already know how these things actually turn out.
