It’s a rather strange distribution. Some claim it’s riddled with bugs and a ton of work done by AI. The author is well-known and had his own large project in the past. Furthermore, in recent months, the distribution has suddenly gained significant media coverage, almost as if someone was trying to boost its popularity. They’ve also received a good few million supporters.

Of course, beginnings are always difficult and there are tons of bugs, but I’m worried something is fishy… time will tell.
