I am about to set up a cloud instance with linux operating system, and the common choice here normally would be ubuntu. But since they failed their newest release, and I have the option of going fedora or debian. What would you guys recommend for server?

      Mostly the uutils.

      • MIT license isn’t nice.
      • They have way more CVEs than the core utils they replace.
      • They don’t have feature parity yet, so if you use some rare flags in your scripts, those will break.

        Code rewrites are always going to have growing pains. Rewriting gnu-corrutils in rust is a noble effort.

          Should have used agpl if they wanted to be noble.

          It’s just a corpo moating strategy.

      Dno, I don’t use Ubuntu. Just heard from all my Linux sources (podcasts, forums, etc) that their Newest release sucked.
