Well, no, not precisely.
The issue at hand affects only mobile Skylakes. Skylakes targeting desktop use are not affected.
The caveat Intel published re: Skylakes is the same caveat it has published for the previous two generation of CPU's.
What we seem to be lacking is actual evidence -- numbers -- that Linux users running on those units have seen more failures than users not running Linux.
