OK. Here is a kernel developer explaining it recently on this site:

// When people escalate privileges on MacOS it's news, when they do it on Linux
it's Tuesday (you might think the recent spate of privesc vulns on Linux was
unusual but that is totally normal). I say this as someone who works on Linux
security every day (I am a kernel developer) and uses Linux on every computer I
have, both at work and at home, BTW. I am not a Linux hater or Apple fanboy by
any means.

of kernel LPE bugs, can you share some of the bugs? [answered by the kernel dev]
I also have some cites of comments on Linux by the founder of GrapheneOS I could dig up.
