All vendor kernels are plagued with security vulnerabilities, according to a CIQ whitepaper. Will the Linux community ever accept upstream stable kernels?

    Saying you can solve the existence of bugs in any code repository reeks of bullshit. Anyone who believes this is possible is just ignorant.

        Theoretically. I don’t think it’s even technically possible.

          Delete all the code. Then you’ll have no bugs.

      While true essentially forking the latest stable version of the kernel to make an LTS branch or a vendor version only multiplies the problem, it also does not contribute to solving it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
