> Debian kernel team has worked to mitigate Meltdown in all suites. This mitigation is currently limited to kernels running in 64-bit mode (amd64 architecture)
> wheezy, jessie, jessie-backports, stretch and unstable/sid are fixed
> Mozilla has started mitigating Spectre in Firefox and some of these changes are now in Debian unstable (version 57.0.4-1). Chromium has also started mitigating Spectre but no such changes have landed in Debian yet.
Der einfachste Weg: Entscheidungs- und Wahlfreiheit. Denn genau den lassen Distributionen mit #systemd nur bedingt. Vorzugsweise gemeint sind damit auch Distributionen basierend auf #Debian.
