I am saying that any version of Ubuntu is not representative of the mainline kernel, which is what is relevant when it comes to analyzing current mitigations. Distro LTS releases often mean custom kernels, backports, hardware enablement,

My point is that it is not representative of the current state of the kernel. The kernel has nothing to do with Ubuntu, its release schedule and LTS's. Distro LTS releases also often mean custom kernels, backports, hardware enablement,

None of your points is about whether or not the company spies or not. You also conflate the malice of the country they are in with the malice of the company itself. Google's primary business is and have always been ads, and they practi
