I would guess that they’ll be sourcing a next-gen RISC-V processor ASAP, since those will enable virtualisation. If they stick one in a laptop shell I’d probably buy it pretty quickly. Doubly so if it has EFI.

I’m sure I’ll get shouted down for this suggestion by the haters, but I’m going to make it anyway because it’s actually really good:
Use an Ubuntu LTS flavour like Kubuntu. Then, add flatpak and for apps you want to keep up to date, install either the flatpak or the snap, depending on the particular app. In my personal experience, sometimes the flatpak is better and sometimes the snap is better. (I would add Nix to the mix, but I wouldn’t call it particularly easy for beginners.)
This gets you:
Can confirm that it can do this fairly well.
Source: the time I grabbed a machine we were about to toss and made it a secondary domain controller for our site so we could nuke and pave our misbehaving Server 2012 DC.
(That other one was also a secondary DC - we just needed one on-site so we could prevent our T1 connection to another site from being the bottleneck.)

Please run the following command in a terminal:
sudo dnf install apt
And then try the instructions above. Let me know if this fixes your issue
Agreed. The great defaults in Plasma definitely are a major draw for me.
That tracks, I think Vüdü Linux is a dead project.
Canonical’s been selling commercial support for Ubuntu Core for a while now. Why would they abandon it if it’s working?
Android doesn’t count, but what about my PinePhone?
Hand them to zoomers as 3d printed save buttons
You know what else would be awesome? “Update, reboot, and (just this once) automatically login”
It would be super useful for when I’m alone at home working but want to do updates over my lunch break.
It is theoretically automatable, but on bare metal it requires having hardware that’s not normally just sitting in every data centre, so it would still require someone to go and plug something into each machine.
On VMs it’s more feasible, but on those VMs most people are probably just mounting the disk images and deleting the bad file to begin with.
I know at least of Freexian. But also, Ubuntu tends to cover the “Like Debian, but with enterprise support” niche.
The packages in most distros will also restart the server for you. Any existing SSH sessions will technically be running in vulnerable versions, but if I’m understanding the vulnerability correctly this isn’t a problem, as they won’t be trying to authenticate a user.
If you want to be sure, you can manually restart the ssh server yourself. On most distros sudo systemctl restart sshd
should do it.

Not because it’s the best or even my favourite. Just because I create so many ephemeral VMs and containers that code switching isn’t worth it for me.
Probably the black sea, dad.
The best version of the Signal app was back when it was available as an actual web app.
The moment I can get a laptop-style RISC-V device with virtualisation support I’m doing it. Double bonus if I can actually use it as my daily driver.
