    What perceived slight from a Linux distro community could possibly convince some loser to DDOS them?

      Fam, people are insanely petty… I frequent the pinephone channel rooms and I can almost predict when someone is about to post some toxic(sometimes illegal) shit there. All because someone didn’t read and or doesn’t have enough base Linux experience for such a janky phone and they’re butt-hurt over their investment. Bless text only clients.

      Some salty Ubuntu fans, because MX is the top listed distro on Distrowatch. It would be hilarious if this is the real reason. A man can only dream. (Edit: I’m only joking off course.)
