Linux distros need to take more responsibility for security [Ed: Mac Asay, the voice of Microsoft, who went to a job interview at Microsoft and brought Microsoft to the OSI; this is typical Microsoft FUD again, published by a site that gets sponsorship money from Asay's employer]
Open source is everywhere; a Synopsys study found that 96% of all software code bases analyzed included open source software. That’s the good news. Ironically, it’s also the bad news, as the very pervasiveness of open source introduces risk. Decades ago, proprietary players used to spew disingenuous fear, uncertainty, and doubt around open source security, but they may finally have a point. Not at the individual project level where critics once wrongly focused their case, but rather in supply chains, as massive vulnerabilities like SolarWinds and Log4j remind us that we still have essential open source security work to do.

Finally! The Popular DAW "Studio One" Adds Linux Support 🥰
Digital audio workstations (DAW) have been an indispensable tool in the arsenal of music production professionals for quite some time now.
Sadly, for Linux, the options are limited, with the most popular ones being the open-source DAWs, Ardour , Audacity, and Bitwig as an interesting closed-source choice.
Sure, they are not necessarily bad. However, some of the most popular DAWs like Cubase, Nuendo, and Pro Tools used across the music industry are not available for Linux 🥺
