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.

My distribution (archlinux) notifies of critical vulnerabilities that require user action. There's a news mailing list.
After that I rely on social network (Mastodon mostly) or lemmy for news, as vulnerabilities often get some conversation. Apart from that, software i'm really interested in I also follow through RSS so I get news when they update for their vulnerabilities -that is when the vulnerabilities are not self inflicted as the xz case-.
Arch Linux (like some other distros) also has a security tracker: https://security.archlinux.org/
