>xubuntu website serving malware
kubuntu sisters stay winning

Is there ANY distro safe from malware that isn't a obscure fork of a more popular distro?
>>
So, will Xubuntus reputation be ruined, or will people not give a shit after a while?

It's been 14 hours, where are the site admins?

This is why you use corporate distros like Ubuntu or RHEL. They have people that are paid to not let shit like this happen, and have a lot more at stake if something like this should happen, and therefore more incentive to make sure it doesn't.
Community distros sounds great on paper, but I like having paid professionals handling my OS, thank you very much

What makes you think malware is a metric?
>>
>>106937187
The teams on the flavors/spins or whatever they call them are pretty small. There is a decent chance that many of them are on weekend and nobody is there to notice that this is happening and do anything about it. This is why big distro (user base and amount of maintainers) > small distro.
