Do any of the major Linux distributions (Fedora, Debian, Arch, Ubuntu, etc.) provide timely security updates for the aarch64 architecture for kernel and other standard system components present in a default 'desktop' install (I'll define that as the 'most standard install' that will run a web browser)? Have any of the relevant security teams indicated any (informal) commitment to ongoing and timely updates?

I ask in the context of SBC (single board computers), in particular Raspberry Pi 3.

As an example of the possible shortcomings I have in mind, this post indicates that security updates in Raspbian back in 2013 were sometimes unavailable (and in fact I believe I read elsewhere from a Raspbian maintainer that their kernel updates in particular were not always as timely as for other system components, because of the modifications made by the Raspbian team).

    this is more about updates than it is about security - you might get better engagement on the Pi StackExchange: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/ – schroeder Jan 07 '18 at 15:34
  • Thanks. However, I don't think the Raspberry Pi community is focused on security very much. I think it is also focused mostly on Raspbian. – Croad Langshan Jan 07 '18 at 17:04
