asked H. N: What is taking Ubuntu so long anyway? (Score: 152+ in 5 hours) Link: Ubuntu has CVE-2026-98432 marked as 9.8, yet it's coming in a week without an update to fix it. It's still marked as "work in progress" (though at least now they've posted relief): I've had easy measures for a week now, but this response really shakes my confidence in Ubuntu. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on with Ubuntu. Do they have too many kernels (this page is long), do they not have enough automation in the build/test pipeline, are their engineers overwhelmed? We are moving into a world where there will be many more security issues; If you can't keep up now, where are you going to be in the next 6 months? For a long time keeping your operating system up to date was a huge part of keeping attackers at bay. However, the world is changing.
