Where is he moving his shit to, then?

I suspect at this point that it’s a bunch of techno-bureaucrats at Canonical who are dogmatically sticking with their release cadence because artificial justifications. I have worked in big organizations where The Process, or The $place Way of Doing Things, has become so big that the bureaucracy takes on a life of its own and you end up having a whole team of people who just manage the process so that the people actually doing the work can maybe get something done.

I haven’t used Ubuntu for a few years now but I’m glad they’re getting this trial by fire now. This new era of software vulnerabilities is going to reduce the viability of a lot of smaller distros who more or less are entirely dependent on upstream for security and reliability. I sincerely wish the Ubuntu folks well but this is a sink or swim moment, and even if they sink it will be a net positive for Linux as a whole as weaker projects get picked off like the slowest antelope in the herd.

> I'm moving all my servers off Ubuntu. Well justified.

you mean to say you didnt review the codebase before putting it in production? you get what you pay for

They're too busy replacing something else with a Rust rewrite.

Did Omarchy patch it? Anyone knows? (Not that I'm using it now, but I'm interested.)

What difference does it make? Version N (TEH LATEST) is considered secure until it isn't and the same show repeats with version N+1 but we already know it's also compromised.

Ultimately, Ubuntu was never more than just a respin of Debian with brown wallpaper and shovelware added. It's time to let it go.
