I don't think yours is a serious answer, what I said already refutes your points. Ubuntu has already made me waste a week and I don't want to waste any more, particularly when you can't or won't listen to what I say and look for irrelevant excuses like the availability of UEFI vendor updates. Just FYI Intel provides these updates for very good reasons and RHEL/CentOS/Fedora have been providing processor microcode updates for ages now and with relatively frequent updates (see the microcode_ctl RPM changelog). Bye now.

I wasn't aware of this, thanks. Though I searched, and I found that they've been causing their users problems by doing so: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2017-0028.html

I think this backs up my point: care must be taken.
