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.

Pick one of the
stablechannels from Universal Blue. You get the Fedora atomic goodness, but "ready" rather than "mostly ready".Does it use the same flawed approach as Manjaro by indiscriminately delaying all updates (including critical security fixes)?
It would be whatever Fedora is doing in stable, but that seems unlikely. I'm sure the internet has the answer.
I've been on the
latestbranch for a year and it's been rock solid across 2 different laptops.I don't think Fedora has a "stable" channel. It has "testing" repo from which updates are pushed to "updates" repo after approval, and that's it. My understanding is that ublue's "latest" channel follows Fedora's "updates", while "stable" seems to update weekly (though it's unclear what happens if a package update arrives in Fedora just before "stable" image is about to be built)
