Getting Closer to Reality
Quote from seasoned_geek on September 8, 2026, 7:22 AMYou can now extend Debian 13 support through 2035. It's real support too, not that faux support Ubuntu is selling. A third party company finally heard my and every other medical device developers pleas. So, it shouldn't be a big stretch, for a fee naturally, to get them to establish a locked down distro spin that doesn't automatically update. Something where we could limit the "security" updates and thus our FDA 510K exposure.
I do hope they make a go of it!
