Not to mention however many production services teams I work with build and maintain that run on Ubuntu.
Ubuntu are dragging their feet and it’s not good enough. Nowhere near good enough.
Get it patched NOW!
And if you’re on here and you work for Ubuntu, then what the hell are you doing reading this when you should be shipping a patch?
Seriously: get on it, will you?
- no snap nonsense where you can't turn off upgrades
- stays close to upstream LTS kernels
- does not carry around some ridiculous kernel patch set
- no irritating adware on login
>no snap nonsense where you can't turn off upgrades
You can disable AND uninstall snap entirely. You can also disable automatic update of the specific snaps you have installed.
>stays close to upstream LTS kernels
Same as Ubuntu, which uses 7.3 on its latest release as of today.
>does not carry around some ridiculous kernel patch set
Custom kernel patches for hardware compatibility is a very good thing, and why Ubuntu works on a lot of machines compared to other distros.
>no irritating adware on login
There is not a single ad on login, and even after. You are an ugly liar.
There's been lots of drama on Ubuntu which OP either completely missed or ignored. Ubuntu has been getting worse for over a decade now.
On another note, you can probably easily install the Debian kernel onto your machine.
"But we need signed kernels!" Well, that's a big "I told you so" from the people that were against only a handful of distros being able to create signed kernels with MS derived keys like 15 years ago.
What an awful system
That ignores those paying for Ubuntu Pro. They are not getting what they paid for.
