>xubuntu website serving malwarekubuntu sisters stay winninghttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2025-October/012209.html
Is there ANY distro safe from malware that isn't a obscure fork of a more popular distro?
So, will Xubuntus reputation be ruined, or will people not give a shit after a while?
It's been 14 hours, where are the site admins?
>>106937115This is why you use corporate distros like Ubuntu or RHEL. They have people that are paid to not let shit like this happen, and have a lot more at stake if something like this should happen, and therefore more incentive to make sure it doesn't.Community distros sounds great on paper, but I like having paid professionals handling my OS, thank you very much
>>106936994What makes you think malware is a metric?
>>106937187The teams on the flavors/spins or whatever they call them are pretty small. There is a decent chance that many of them are on weekend and nobody is there to notice that this is happening and do anything about it. This is why big distro (user base and amount of maintainers) > small distro.

Doesn't happen on Microsoft Windows website
I remember when flatpak forgot renew their TLS certificates for days.
