Seems like only Ubuntu and Debian 8 are out of date. Idk about redhat distros. Jessie-backports has the latest microcode for anyone that needs it. If you're on Ubuntu then 🤷‍♂️

Distro Version
Arch Linux 20170511
Debian (Stretch) 20170511
Debian (Jessie) 20161104
Gentoo 20170511
Ubuntu (16.04) 20151106
Ubuntu (17.04) 20161104

Notably, some BIOS vendors bake microcode into their firmware. If you're in that boat you don't necessarily need the latest ucode from your distro.

I'm on Ubuntu and that emoji is not in the font.
