Wow, I didn't even realize there any consumer-grade (or dev-grade I guess) RISC-V boards available. Really cool news!

Yes, enhanced security is pretty much the entire pitch of Rust. There wouldn't be any reason for it to result in performance enhancements, though.
Interesting, the example suffix in the article seems to cause ChatGPT to immediately error out with both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. Removing any character or part of it triggers the "I'm sorry Dave" behavior.
The whole thing with holding back package updates for a some weeks doesn't make a ton of sense to me, especially given that to my understanding security updates are often held back as well. The main advantage over Arch is that it has a graphical installer, but IMO Arch really isn't that hard to install now with archinstall being a thing.
In another vein, they've let their website certificate expire on multiple occasions, and have shipped pamac versions that have ended up DDoSing the AUR on multiple occasions as well. All this hints at some fairly serious mismanagement and doesn't exactly lend itself to the implicit trust required of distro maintainers.
I did use Manjaro for a decent stretch before eventually switching to Arch, and functionally I didn't notice any difference after switching apart from the AUR manager I used and packages making their way to my system sooner. This is a big part of why I say I don't really see the point.
Out of curiosity, do you use ChatGPT Plus? I've found that GPT-4 is worlds better at solving programming problems and is much less likely to hallucinate (as long as the question isn't too obscure).
It's essentially the commercial version of Wine (although I'm definitely oversimplifying). It's developed by the same company, CodeWeavers.
