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.

A needle in a tumbleweed, if you will. :p
Yeah, it's crazy it was hiding this long but I see this as a win that they dealt with it so swiftly and show they take their package security seriously.
Yeah, it really speaks volumes about the devs. It means that no matter how innocent the package may be or how long its been there, they still pick through it all multiple times to make sure their users are safe and happy.
But RIP Deepin users. Tbh though, I've been hanging around Linux forums a while and still have yet to see someone who actually daily drives Deepin, lol.
