I'm sorry but even Linux requires frequent security updates due it's large ecosystem of dependencies. It's more or less required by every cyber security standard to update them just like windows.

- citrin_ru 2y agoOpenBSD is a non-starter for many companies because they don't have LTS and releases are relative frequent.
- advael 2y agoI agree that all dependencies should be treated as attack surface. For that reason, systems for which dependencies can be more tightly controlled are inherently more secure than ones for which they can't. The monolithic and opaque nature of windows and other proprietary software makes them harder to minimize risk about in this way
