When I didn't see any reply from you within the past 23 hours, I got some time to read your (only) post within such that time frame. 🤔
It would !INDEED be inconvenient to switch from your favorite Linux distro to another one (possibly its fork), and it's even much more inconvenient for other people in general to switch to better FOSS (and not insecure, as software being free and open-source does not necessarily mean already secure by design) apps and OS. 🤯

Curious, since I always go through and respond to my notifications around the same time every day, so I have no idea why there would be such a gap, and cool.
Yes, I'm really not looking forward to it, but a line has been crossed, so it seems quite necessary at this point, much to my intense chagrin, because I love Arch, and I've been using it every day for over 8 years now. There's a huge schism in the FOSS and Linux communities over this issue at the moment, as many significant FOSS projects seem to have been compromised. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

We can only assume that our commenting sessions on that day (yesterday UTC) were just 1 hour apart !INDEED. 😅
I have read content from some people who said that that simply using a FOSS app or operating system (distro) that you know is secure enough already counts as a "vote" or support (no donations, code contributions, and/or user feedback necessary). 🧘♂️

Yep , apparently so.
Indeed, we vote with our downloads and use, though if I were to switch to Artix Linux, which is based on Arch Linux, I wouldn't download an installation ISO, but rather I'd convert my 3 existing installations into Artix, though since I've never done it, I will make sure that I have all 3 of my Arch installations updated and cloned before I attempt it. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Whether or not you are already experienced with something that involves changing data (such as updating software in this case), backups are indeed important, especially for irreplaceable data. 🧘♂️🤓

Exactly, which is why I always clone my Arch installations after any notable changes, and after a certain period of time. I'm just about to swap out the Arch installation from which I'm typing this now, for another (my oldest installation), quite soon. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I wonder how much storage your backups of your (Arch Linux) installations take (for your three OSes) and how many versions for each installation !INDEED. 🤓

Each of the 3 Arch installations is on a 1TB NVMe SSD, and each also has another 1TB SSD to which I clone regularly. So 6TB in total. I only have the most recent versions. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

6 TB of SSD storage seems expensive, but they are useful indeed for the long run. 🧘♂️💸🤓
I'm thinking how much 1 TB of data stored on either a centralized or decentralized cloud storage would cost (let's say on a monthly basis). 💸😅
