I'm glad that there is a remedy and resolution, I will be checking "Mom's" Linux Mint laptop and my Fedora workstation laptop and desktop tonight..and if need be will perform triage procedures on all machines, I've been using Linux?...Fedora specifically....since 2003/04...and I've "survived" Spectre and even Dependency Hell, so I'm used to "big issues" coming up. Glad this isn't one of them, and while I'm not a developer?...I would LOVE to BE one!...as my son is now college bound and I don't have "babies" to tend to...I work from home...and if I could learn the framework and languages?..I would SO volunteer, I'm a "spry" 52 yr old...who's been in IT since '99...
I guess we all have fantasy jobs though eh?
Thanks to all the devs and code maintainers who make Fedora a possibility for a dweeb lile me!! You guys and gals ROCK!!

A fewpeople may need to "clean" affected systems and regenerate keys.This episode does, however, highlight underlying weaknesses of the open sourceecosystem. Many open source projects are widely used but rely on unpaid developers.Some of the original developers are getting old or have other demands on their time.It appears to have been easy (perhaps too easy) for a well-funded and resourcedentity to assume the role of an opensource developer.George N.
