A Proposal To Update Ubuntu's Kernel/Mesa/GNOME Components On A Monthly Basis

It's not quite the Ubuntu rolling-release process that some have proposed over the years, but a new proposal is being formulated for shipping updates to key Ubuntu system components on a monthly basis rather than having to wait six months for updates to the Linux kernel, Mesa, etc.

Ubuntu certainly doesn't seem to be hanging about with all it's changes.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Thanks for sharing.

What could possible go wrong with this.

Now if they where talking about update applications (ie Libreoffice, Calibre, VLC) on a monthly basis, that would be a better idea.

Oh great. Whilst we're at it, let's change Arch from rolling to biennial LTS releases.

Naaaah....it's ok - few weeks later on, Santa Claus, 'ukuu' & 4.14.9 will fix everything...

Only brick laptops for 1 month as opposed to a few months.

Right.

Thank God we have the protective level system of Update Manager.

I think we rather have Clem to thank for that.
