From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah.
Yum upgrade. The work that goes into a reliably safe, brain-dead, boring update process with a rollback and by-the-checksum validation of installed product is the most unsung part of the distro.And people really should value the ability to answer
yum update --cve <CVE-ID>will settle it)rpm -V some-RPM)And 'how do we know' is an amazingly powerful question that's easy to answer on EL and hard as heck to answer on debs or anything with flatpak/snap/pyp/npm nonsense.
