As a headline reader I'd sure hope users of these distros receive security updates

Still on 6.1.0-17 and nothing shows up after sudo apt update.

You're good. That's the latest image, it's just the confusing Debian version scheme where the package version is not the same as the kernel version. Debian package version 6.1.0-17 = kernel version 6.1.69-1

See:

$ uname -a
Linux debian12 6.1.0-17-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.69-1 (2023-12-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux

And:

$ dpkg-query --list linux-image-6.1.0-17-amd64
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name                       Version      Architecture Description
+++-==========================-============-============-=================================
ii  linux-image-6.1.0-17-amd64 6.1.69-1     amd64        Linux 6.1 for 64-bit PCs (signed)

6.1.0-17 is the one I received today. I was on 6.1.0-16 until now.

I had a security download (but not yet installed) ready yesterday. Logged off without installing. Turned on my device today and couldnt log in. Checked my pwd 3 times before seeing "authentication service not working " iirc.

After reboot it installed and logging in worked.

Is this related or not and is it expected? Not being able to log in without a mandatory patch first so to say?

no that just sounds like a bug

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
