• best Distro for Noob

• Introduction

• Apple has just released the first Rapid Security Response for Ventura

  > Anything that involves system services This is not true. NixOS, as one example, is able to figure out which services (including system) need to be restarted. > god forbid the kernel This is not true either. Live kernel updates are possible (but are usually a paid addition, e.g. https://ubuntu.com/security/livepatch). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• What are you using for patch management?

  For patching running kernels against CVEs when you can't immediately reboot, there's Livepatch as well. Source: over 2 years ago

• So I'm back to Ubuntu LTS

  For security updates, yes, not for everything. See here: https://ubuntu.com/security/livepatch. Source: over 2 years ago

• Any advantage to Ubuntu Pro Desktop?

  Ubuntu Pro is how you get Kernel Livepatch which applies security fixes to your running kernel without needing to reboot. Source: over 2 years ago
