    Linux is the most secure among all OS given that it is an open- source operating system which gives users the ability to customize and implement security patches.

    Imagine trusting folks to keep their stuff up-to-date, though. People get very hostile at the mere suggestion that they need to update when “everything works fine right now, why should I?”

      When people say that (usually older folks that are used to something) they usually mean the UI. I wish there was a vendor that would keep their UI constant while patching just security and bugs.

        It wouldn’t be such an issue if each OS didn’t have several design languages side by side.

        Windows has 10 different design languages all still there in the OS. It should have stuck with MetroUI and finished updating everything to it, Fluent is an eyesore in my opinion.

        MacOS can’t keep things consistent to save itself.

        And Linux has KDE/Breeze and Gnome/Adwaita in their niches, with the older Windows 95 imitations still around.

        Android is probably the least worst. Material and Material U.

      The quote is not about installing security patches but implementing them. Terrible paper.
