Re: Ubuntu patches?
"fixing the bug completely"
A bug is something that stops a system from functioning correctly and the big problem with Meltdown/Spectre is that the fixes that are available, for just about all of the current generation of hardware, affect system performance and a system that is running slow is no-longer functioning correctly, which is itself a bug.
Meltdown/Spectre is no-longer a security bug - it's now a performance bug, for which no complete fix, except replacement h/w, is, or ever will be, available.
