Since February, there've been 800 newly assigned CVEs. Your job? Update your main Linux distro more often.

    Best way I found it running this command

    rm -rf /

    Then do a reboot just to be sure.

    Good luck compromising my system after that.

    FYI This is a joke Don’t actually run this command :)

        I ran it and followed a documentation to install Void Linux and now it runs so much smoother!

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.
