Ubuntu has it all: The most important controversies in one package.
BTW this reply is more a joke than being serious. I’m not the biggest fan of Ubuntu (anymore), but I also used it straight 13 years since I started; so let me have me my opinion. Besides that, I make just fun of companies and not of the users. People should use what they like.
Is there a good alternative to Ubuntu that’s deployment ready for a small to medium business that doesn’t require paying for support like Red Hat? I don’t use it on my own machines, but when I’m working with clients it’s pretty much all I recommend. I could maybe be won over by Mint, but I’m still a little skeptical about the polish and reliability there.
Debian stable
That’s always been my go to, rock solid OS that will just chug along. My son (Arch user) likes to joke that mine is always out of date, but I like to joke that he’s the beta tester.
When LMDE was dropped I started recommending that to the Windows Expats I meet because its UI is familiar to them and Debian just runs.
Was sudo broken in some way that makes rewriting it in rust appealing? Genuinely curious.
Everyone is focusing on the fact that this us C vs rust. The original sudo has issues on its own. Its a large code base that does lots of things and has inherent security vulnerabilities.
Sudo is worth redoing regardless of language.
