... Yeah? Beta software having bugs isn't the hottest of takes.

  1. Minor releases aren't beta. By any convention they should be fully tested, final releases. And if gnu core utils broke systems in a minor release you better believe it would make it to some news.
  2. The instability of choosing a beta software for the literal core of your operating system is kind of the point.

Ubuntu 25.10 entered beta on September 18th. It releases on October 9th. It's still in beta.

I see what you meant. I consider rust core utils beta so stand by my statement but I see what you meant.

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.
