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?
