Applying patches and mitigations to Linux. "Ok, I'll get it done as soon as possible."

Actually its more like this on windows: "Is this going to lower my performance? Wait its windows 10... patch applied and now it slower than a pig... and I lost all my unsaved work in the automatic reboot."

Really? for something that's free and mostly based on volunteer work, I find everything to be really amazing! The proposed fix had to be tested and reviewed.

Being free and/or volunteer-based is never an excuse for being lazy in security. I don't think that's the case with Linux regardless but this logic is a bit annoying.

Might only be the tip of an iceberg.

I was hit by a UEFI Rootkit some months ago. Looked like a big criminal ground is messing with OpenSource code.
