GNU coreutils or uutils coreutils? Ubuntu 26.04 ships with both. I prefer to use the GNU coreutils, for several reasons:
npm world, where packages are occasionally taken over by malicious people (either because the maintainer behaves in an irresponsible way, or by takeover via stolen credentials, or by domain name squatting, etc.). I cannot trust a package that relies on 100 or more such modules.Now, how to do it?
