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.
