On Saturday 07 January 2023, Jonathon Fernyhough, or Jonathon as we in the Linux community knew him, unfortunately passed away. He played a very large role in the Linux community, especially for Arch, Manjaro and for most Arch distros including ours. Describing his contribution to the Linux commun…

So sad to see great men have to go too. He personally helped and affected so many people here and elsewhere. His contribution to the Linux world was and is spectacular. Condolences to his family and all friends.

@Thomasf I am coming late to this sad news. My condolences. Your brother was always there to offer help, and of course to share his knowledge of tea. I first ran into him on Manjaro in 2013, and he has been a fixture in my interactions with the Arch world ever since. He will be, he is sorely mi…
