Too few sampled comments (8) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN comments mostly link TuxCare's product pages (CentOS 7 extended support, KernelCare kernel livepatching) and blog posts on Linux distros, kernel releases and CVEs. None judge the writing itself.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 8 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Open source packages rebuilt from source, malware-scanned, and continuously patched under SLA with SBOM, VEX, and SLSA 3 evidence. No workflow changes.

What Hacker News says?

HN discussionBut what's it attesting? Their byline "Every system starts in a verified state and stays trusted over time" should be "Every system starts in a verified state of 8,000 yet-to-be-discovered vulns and stays in that vulnerable state over time". The figure is made up but see for example https://tuxcare.com/blog/the-linux-kernel-cve-flood-continue... . So what you're attesting is that all the bugs are still present, not…
