This hatred for Snaps is getting out of hand.
Ubuntu is one of the most used distros in both desktop and server environments. Take down the update servers, can’t patch CopyFail. Can’t patch CopyFail, more time to access affected systems.
That’s my paranoid take anyway.
Normally patches roll out before the vulnerability is disclosed. But I honestly don’t know the status on CopyFail
Most distros delivered patched kernels well before the vulnerability was publicly disclosed. Not sure if Ubuntu did but they had ample time to do so.
Ubuntu 26.04 has already been patched, but not the older (LTS) releases.
The Debian Bookworm fix was only rolled out last night. Bookworm was not directly affected though, so maybe that’s why it took a bit more time
I could update Ubuntu servers despite the DDoS.
Does Ubuntu, like Debian, make you choose a repository mirror during the installation?
Add to that the recent announcement about adding AI poop to the OS.
Which border?
