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.

I hope you auditted all of these for backdoors before installing them
Sorry, where is the backdoor? This is all official arch repos, and nothing even appears sketchy.
Well they are volunteers, something could have slipped up
Highly unlikely, I assume you are nervous after the xz backdoor, but that is almost one of a kind. I couldn't find any other examples of something like that happening.
We still live in an innocent age
