- Foxboron 9y agoYes. I wrote "has".
- joh6nn 9y ago"has" is present tense. I think you meant "had"?
- gribbly 9y agoThe 'hardened' kernel he mentioned has recently (~40 hours) appeared in the Arch repos: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/linux-hardened/ https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/linux-ha... Not a replacement but at least an alternative.
