    These messages are damn useless

    Distros take care of the kernel, either ship LTS releases or do the backports themselves. Only rolling release people run that kernel.

    So this post is literally only useful for the 4 LFS users that now need to recompile their kernels.

          Weren’t are nukes controlled by IBM series/1 systems and floppy discs until 2019. They said they upgraded to a highly secure solid state system. They might be still using those computers for some parts of the system because “You can’t hack something that doesn’t have an IP address. It’s a very unique system — it is old and it is very good.”

      Arch people (and people using Arch derivatives) may also be stuck on 6.8. I believe some GPUs have issues with 6.9, so those users need to downgrade to the last LTS (6.6 I believe?) or risk instability.

      Most Linux users aren’t affected, but plenty of people still are. Then again, they probably already knew.
