Is that discussing the XZ-Utils backdoor?
Well idk but the information on photo talking 1 month ago.
XZ-Utils I remember the FreeBSD was hacked. I reading the Americans creating some backdoor to hacking SSH protocol. I could be wrong with that information but that what I somewhere hearing.
The comment in your screenshot pointed out that it depended on SystemD, which the XZ-utils backdoor did; prompting my question.
Perhaps it is confirmation of what our local Linux User Group co-ordinator informed me 5 or so years ago that systemd is like giving your machine a barcode that anyone can read = massive attack vector. And why I use PCLOS Debian.

PCLOS it is similar to Mandriva. Interesting the russian people mostly using mandriva,slackware,gentoo that distribution with low level permission.
Actually PCLOS rpm is based off Mandrake 9.2 as TexStar contributed to Mandrake ... and Devuan. TexStar has nothing to do with PCLOS Debian. One of the key players of PCLOS Debian is Upgreyed. One DE that needs some attention is their Budgie DE as I could not get English UK to stick, and pointed out a missing element of LibreOffice installer now fixed. Yesterday I had an issue with lockscreen as password field ineffective to unlock. I think their best ones are Plasma and xfce. Still to try MATE. The issue for me with MATE is it is not easy to change the cursor size of the mouse, unlike Plasma.

It is, although the conversation is from a year ago:

I assume you mean OpenMandriva:
The first fork following the original demise was Mageia which I could never get on with.
I'm happy with Zorin OS
Yep, I still got this picture I made years ago. Skipping over OS 17, I will be upgrading to OS 18, once it arrives.
I saw some video it have some security like a slackware important security updates not some desktop polishing or something else. @swarfendor437 Did you try this distribution this days?

I remember baulking at early slackware which used LILO bootloader which if not handled carefully could foobar the hard drive. Not touched it since when I got to the install stage mentioning LILO.
OpenMandriva have some problems with man in terminal. People sayed it is better from Fedora about sound and picture from a camera. They also sayed have a systemd cutting something propably for them knees.
I never really bothered with Mandriva or its fork, Mageia. Tried Mageia on a cover DVD on LXF. Didn't like it.
