Feren OS: An Almost Flawless Linux Computing Platform
Feren OS might well be the Linux computing game-changer that lures you away from your current operating system.
Feren OS is based on Linux Mint 19 and the Cinnamon desktop environment that Linux Mint devs developed.
So pretty much it’s Debian > Ubuntu > Linux Mint > Feren OS?
So pretty much a nope.
I wonder how they base on Mint, but do a rolling release? Something is odd there.

Docker Hub Hacked – 190k accounts, GitHub tokens revoked, builds disabled
"On Thursday, April 25th, 2019, we discovered unauthorized access to a single Hub database storing a subset of non-financial user data. Upon discovery, we acted quickly to intervene and secure the site."
During a brief period of unauthorized access to a Docker Hub database, sensitive data from approximately 190,000 accounts may have been exposed (less than 5% of Hub users). Data includes usernames and hashed passwords for a small percentage of these users, as well as Github and Bitbucket tokens for Docker autobuilds.

CentOS 7 was July 7, 2014 -
