>"The majority of the world runs Debian or they run their own kernel," Kroah-Hartman said. "Debian was not allowed to be part of the disclosure, so the majority of the world was caught with their pants down, and that's not good."
Is there any actual statistics to back this up? I feel like RHEL and to a lesser extent CentOS have a stranglehold on the big enterprise-y environments, and I see Ubuntu basically everywhere else, and Canonical does their own kernels.
Edit: To be clear, I am aware Ubunbtu is a Debian derivative, but since we're talking specifically about who was informed for kernel level mitigations, and Canonical does their own kernels, it seems weird to talk about how Debian wasn't informed and thus people were affected, when Ubuntu being updated wasn't reliant on Debian being updated.
