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.

There's also no livepatches from Ubuntu Pro, and I thought this was the whole idea of livepatches, to patch critical bugs before you have a chance to update the kernel.
This also isn't the first time I've been annoyed at Ubuntu's response time. Luckily I mostly run Debian, but I certainly won't be using Ubuntu for anything else in the future.
