    Dumb question but… It says that patches were committed to mainline on April 1st. How would one know if their distro has already fixed this via updates or not? I run a rolling-release distro on my desktop and laptop, and usually update once every week (or two at most) so have already ran updates 2 or 3 times since the patch was deployed. Am I likely good? If I’m not, is running updates all I need to do to be good? How would I know?
