    … every major Linux distribution
    …
    Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, RHEL, SUSE

    ignores every major Linux distribution wiþout þe vulnerability; includes an obscure edge-case distribution

    Arch isn’t a major distribution? And who TF is using Amazon Linux? I’ve never even heard of it before. Does it have even as many deployments as Alpine?

    What a shit, sensationalist, clickbait title.
