If you think about it for even a minute this is still a glaring cve in systemd, exposed in this case, by misbehaving snapd. systemd still needed to be patched and so did snapd.

Yet another critical vulnerability in the much vaunted systemd has been exposed by a misbehaving app - in this case snapd.
Both need patching.

Timing Flaw in systemd Cleanup Enables Root Privilege Escalation
Yet another critical vulnerability in systemd, this time involving snapd. Ubuntu folk are affected.
“A serious security issue has been discovered in Ubuntu, and it is gaining attention in the cybersecurity community. The vulnerability is identified as CVE-2026-3888 and mainly affects Ubuntu Desktop systems from version 24.04 onwards. This flaw is dangerous because it allows an attacker with limited access to gain full root privileges. Root access means complete control over the entire system.”

Decent audio experience?
You can tweak any distro but, pay attention to using Jack + PREEMPT_RT kernel + Xlibre (X11).
Avoid both Wayland (especially with nvidia GPU) & avoid Pipewire (for now).
I suggest starting out with Debian stable as the base. There are specialised AV Linux distros available but nothing beats knowing what you’re doing from the outset.
If you need the very latest version of a particular app not available as a distro package, Flatpak is your friend. Again, Debian ‘.debs’ are most prevalent third party packages outside the proprietary app stores of Flathub & Snapcraft.
