1 year agoEh, I don’t believe in isolation. And by that I mean, I don’t think it’s currently actually obtainable. Servers, sure, any mitigation helps, but for end-users? I doubt it offers much protection and adds a bunch of overhead. But I do like these technologies for keeping old software running. Linux tends to have a pretty poor reputation at backwords compatability, and this is a major help.
Why though? I like Mint, it’s neat to have a newer kernel by default iso option, but… Why?
I’m pretty sure it’s easy enough to do this after installing the regular ISO. And it’s not like “bleeding edge” and Debian/Ubuntu even go together. Even SID feels far out of date. If I need “EDGE” I’ll go for Artix.
