Why are they calling out specific distros for a kernel issue? It's the kernel, it affects every distro using an affected release of it.
Because some have released updated kernels while others haven't
Maybe they should use better distros.
I use Arch, btw.
Yes. We figured. Lol
I know the answer to that. It's in the article.
