[Question] Manjaro, out of curiosity question, does the image on boot has any security implication regarding logoFAIL? (lemmy.ml)

Hi everyone :).

Just getting started with Manjaro as daily drive to get some easier arched based distro. Except for the LVM bug with calamares everything is pretty smooth :).

But at first boot, I saw they have added their personal Manjaro logo on boot and I directly though of the bug exploit logoFAIL I heard a few month ago and It made me curious if this is something that could be exploitable by Manjaro.

Probably not, this would harm their image and hard worked system, but I'm still curious... If someone smarter/more knowledgeable than me could chime in and give some valuable information on this topic regarding Manjaro, I would really appreciate it !

Thank you !

If it was some minor thing I wouldn't care much. I am not a Arch user and I probably will never be.

The problem with Manjaro is the leadership is questionable. It isn't just a few blunders. It is repeated mistakes that have caused real harm. They write themselves off as user friendly but they can't seem to figure out how to manage it properly. I am not against user friendly Arch. However, the nature of Arch means it is very very hard.

Linux Mint and Fedora are much better and don't have the same history of dumb mistakes.

    You must've not been around when Mint and Fedora were new.

    They've been around for about twice as long as Manjaro. They made plenty of blunders.

    caused real harm

    Lol.
