Morten Linderud resigning from Arch Linux development team
- foder 2mo agoThank you for everything you've done over the years Morten
- Tehnix 2mo agoAmazing work over the years!
- boreq 2mo agoThanks /u/Foxboron for this information.
- mcbuilder 2mo agoGreat distribution and great community!
- shevy-java 2mo agoAI takes down more humans again. Skynet is winning. Props to him for that almost decade of time investment. My attention span and lack of patience would have perpetually disqualified from maintainer on any linux distribution. The trade-off never seemed to be worth the effort either.
- drabbiticus 2mo agoNot even saying you are wrong, but the linked article does not appear to support your premise that AI was related to this decision at all. Is there further evidence you have that specifically relates to the specific decision of this particular dev to step down from Arch? As you yourself say, being a maintainer is a big commitment, one that many people naturally tire of as their interests, goals and other life needs change over time.
- datakan 2mo agoPhoronix has some more info, AI isn't mentioned: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Arch-Linux-Foxboron https://www.phoronix.com/news/Arch-Linux-Foxboron
- ldng 2mo agoWhat supplemental information is there ? I did not read much more than in the linked article.
- bendmorris 2mo agoThe Phoronix article contains no more information than his resignation email.
- aorth 2mo agoOh this is hard to read. Foxboron was a massively positive force for Arch Linux and the Linux ecosystem in general! I discovered his ssh-tpm-agent https://github.com/Foxboron/ssh-tpm-agent https://github.com/Foxboron/ssh-tpm-agent a few months ago and it is really nice!
- datakan 2mo agoIndeed. Hopefully whoever steps up is equally as positive.
