The Ubuntu repositories already have the latest version of the Intel driver

The repositories of Ubuntu are being the center of the controversy of Ubuntu during the last months. After the serious error that appeared in the wake of the Ubuntu 17.10 kernel, appeared the error of Specter and Meltdown. An error that made Ubuntu have to remove the latest versions of Intel's microcode in order to give stability and security to the distribution. Over time, Intel has managed to create a safe driver or microcode for Ubuntu and that is why Ubuntu decided to work with it to offer a secure update for all platforms of Ubuntu users.

So far, the solution was only on 64-bit platforms. Days after the release of that update, we can say that the security update is available for all Ubuntu architectures, especially for the 32-bit platform, a platform that many users still use (although many Ubuntu developers do not create it) and that at the moment was unprotected against these security bugs that allowed the appropriation of the machine through the kernel.

This update will be appearing throughout the next hours for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

And depending on the type of internet connection that we have and the functioning of the Ubuntu servers. However, if we have a 64-bit distribution, this update will have arrived days ago.

In any case, you can always try to accelerate the process by opening a terminal and writing the following: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade If the package is really available, it will appear with these commands and will ask us if we want to install it or not. In this case, we will say yes, since the package to be installed is not just any program, but it is a so-called security patch that will improve the security of the distribution.

This version, in comparison to the others offered by openSUSE, is a Rolling Release version. In this case I decided to install openSUSE Tumbleweed because it is boring and tiresome to have to update a system every time there is a new version, that's why I like the systems more relaying.
