  1. One possible excuse for Ubuntu is that decent and higher quality developers will do translations with separate files so they don't have to know how other languages even work, let alone what the names of things would be, and so someone could modify such a file separately and it wouldn't necessarily be caught unless someone ran the final binary. Granted, they should've taken that tiny step and not doing so is definitely a bad thing, but I wouldn't say it's an unforgivable error. That said, I don't use Ubuntu and the only Debian-based system that I have is my Pi. As for all the rest, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a vulnerability in some commonly used piece of software on Linux systems already. The quality of modern developers is receding and we're all the worse for it. That `xz` malware issue was barely caught by accident because someone was performance testing and the bad code wasn't efficient. One might be inclined to say that if all developers are degrading in quality then the malware writers are too, and that's mostly true, but also it's likely to be fixed with an update because their goal is to be undetected. Security people need to do better because it gets infinitely more difficult to catch exploits and they only need incremental updates.
