Headline is a bit misleading... This is just Tails updating to the latest LTS kernel, which has the security fix (which many other distributions have done).
This update is a good thing, but the headline made it sound like the Tails project was contributing a fix to the kernel.
Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Agree, I opened the link because I thought the same thing
is it any better now?
I personally still find it a little confusing. Maybe something like "Tails updates to Linux Kernel 5.16.1 to fix critical vulnerability"
Good job, Tails! Now fly me to that platform over there...
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.
