I'd rather "lose a morning" because the manufacturer of my OS is essentially a bunch of volunteers, rather than "lose a morning" applying security patches and rebooting because my OS manufacturer is a company with $370bn of market cap but doesn't invest that money in making a secure OS.

All OSs need to do regular securities updates, even "secure" OSs (remember Heartbleed?, CVE-2015-0235(Ghost) ?)
- digler999 11y agoI've been running linux mint , an ubuntu derivative, for over 3 years and never had that happen to me. furthermore, the linux OS's don't have 370 billion dollars backing them up. their limitations are truly techinical, not greed.
