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.

I got a intel cpu will i be fine
Possibly not, for a multitude of reasons...
Oh
There is only a small amount of devices impacted. As long as you aren't using high end 13 or 14 gen hardware you are fine.
If 13th or 14th gen, only if you get lucky and update to the microcode hotfix. GL
i have i3 12100f which is 12gen
That's not affected by the relatively serious issues plaguing more recent Intel CPUs so it's probably fine. If it was the more recent generations, there are some major and probably physical defects causing problems for those.
Oh yh
I was actually on the fence between that one and the non f for a lower power server build. Something that would finally put my 7700k to rest.
I just upgraded to the 7700k 😂
From what I remember I have a 2nd gen i7, I don't think that updates matter at this point. Lol
What generation and model?
If you haven't seen any crashes then you are fine. Just update the bios and microcode if you are on high end 13 and 14 generation.
12 gen and an i3
Not affected
Good
