That was actually really fast considering how long wireguard has(n't) been around. We don't even have it in stable Linux distributions yet. I guess there is some significant demand for it from Mikrotik's customers. I'll probably use it.

There are lots of stable Linux distros running the stable kernel which is 5.8. it is just distros like RHEL that call themselves stable, but are actually antiquated and honestly just give users a bad experience because most of the software is outdated. Wouldn't expect anything less from IBM.

Redhat did that before they were bought by IBM.

I was never a fan of RHEL even before they got purchased. They've done some great things lately with Podman, Buildah, Skopeo, etc but never really been an innovator when it comes to desktop Linux. I see Arch and Alpine being the real innovators, and projects like wlroots.
