From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just found out about his new distro, and I haven't seen anyone else mention it, so here it is.

Here's Erik Dubois Ko-Fi, where he did the annoucement of the new website. https://ko-fi.com/erikdubois

arco was shut down last year because..

The reasoning behind this move, as shared by Erik, is his advancing age and him realizing that he doesn't have the same level of mental focus or stamina he used to have before. He has found himself making small mistakes, the kind that can negatively affect a major undertaking like this.

Yeah it's weird that he said he's too old and making too many mistakes to maintain a Linux distro, only to use LLMs to then maintain another Linux distro.

If he doesn't trust himself with a task, why trust him to oversee an LLM doing the same task?
