Well , Linus already said perhaps linux should look at the arm folk . Should that happen , well guess what ?
From my very small knowledge , 90+% of internet infrastructure runs on linux .
I tend to think it's because the folk who trade with stock very well know that these "issues" are actually features.
I can also bet that that "grilling" they get from US government is not about the mess the chip flaws are doing , it's about why the "flaws" were publicly announced.
If if weren't such a bih issue , this would be actually funny . M$ funboys bashing linux over an Intel patch that's rendering winblows useless ? ffs ...
Overeheared a smalltak about something similar in croatia couple days ago . I tought guy was drunk and bs-ing the waitress . Now I hope I bump into him again ;)
