did you have a point?

The point was the stupid post of LinuxGamer who said that there was no security holes in Fedora. I did not talk about Ubuntu.
And you, did you have a point?

there are your average run of the mill CVE that every distro has.. and then there are the holes so big you could accidentally drive a truck through it without even noticing that it was there (like this VT switching issue). I think LinuxGamer was referring to the latter.

Hm, ok. You just don't know what you are talking about.
Let's move on to another subject.

Not all CVE are "small"...

In this case we are talking about a known issue in a beta software that is not actually deployed anywhere by default (not even Ubuntu 13.10 daily images) and is only installed on developers/volunteers computers.

Pardon me if I find the latest OpenSSL/Apache/Bind security issues to be "bigger".

Fair enough, it isn't a remotely exploitable issue. But still, it is an issue where an end user can exploit themselves without even realizing it. And a known issue, at that. It seems irresponsible to encourage users to install/test/use with this sort of known issue.

you go know that no one by default is using mir yet right? not even on ubuntu 13.10 unless u manualy install it....
and even if it did ubuntu 13.10 is not even a beta yet....
also this is not a "big security hole" this is just a bug of a alpha software...
even the kernel has securitu issues and those yes are "big security holes".

stop being a fanboy LinuxGamer

LTS Kernels are the most secure and this Xmir thing is going into Beta next week soon to be the default

check phoronix for the latest kernel security issue....
it was there for YEARS and no one knew, we dont even know how many time it was exploited...
you cant win this war dude, just give up, every thing has security issues...
new software is gonna be more insecure thats a fact

EDIT:
did u even know X is fill with security issues?
