- Arch Linux is experiencing a prolonged DDoS attack affecting its main website, AUR, and forums.
- The motive behind the attack is unclear, with speculation ranging from targeted dislike to testing DDoS methods.
- Arch Linux volunteers are working on mitigation but are cautious about DDoS protection providers' ethical standards.
- Cloudflare's free DDoS protection for open-source projects is a suggested solution, but Arch hasn't confirmed any partnerships.
- Users facing access issues can use mirrors for downloads or clone AUR packages directly from GitHub.
