>How are Ubuntu and RHEL not fixed?

IMNSHO this makes them unfit for purpose. I think this is the nail in the coffin for Ubuntu for me.

It's not a good look.

I pulled in from -proposed this time.

Ubuntu was slow on the brotli / CVE-2026-111497 updates as well.

What would you suggest for enterprise use of Linux if RHEL is no longer fit for purpose?

  • I'd be seriously considering Debian or, hear me out, NixOS. We run all our work servers on Ubuntu, but ~6 months ago I switched my workstation to NixOS and I couldn't be happier. I've been following "latest" or whatever they call it, being able to treat the OS package versions like the rest of our software (update the flake.lock file and then burn it in in dev+stg for ~2 weeks before rolling to prod) is pretty attractive.
