Is Rust opensource?
Not all programming languages carry a license. Here is a Stackoverflow post about C language. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5099384/is-c-open-source)
Rust has a dual MIT and Apache. license (https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/licenses)
Over the years many CVEs have been discovered for the Linux Kernel (https://www.cvedetails.com/product/47/Linux-Linux-Kernel.html?vendor_id=33). Many of those involve memory corruption.

Just kept running 18.04 to 2024. Just switched to ESM and kept going.

I'd go for the upgrade, good way to stay current and learn.

Asked about unattended upgrades.
Leo and Dan both use them. By default they just apply security updates but Dan turns them on for everything.

I thought I signed up. Anyone know when thundermail happens?

In my experience: people who are less familiar with system installations don't have problems with Anaconda's hub-and-spoke model.

It is impossible to Backport everything. Using the latest software is best but using LTS or ESR solutions is also good.

You guys should probably do an episode on the history of puppy Linux
It has a good possibility for next season. Stay Tuned!
