There&#x27;s a big misunderstanding that open source, in and of itself, is more secure. Time and again this has been proven wrong (remember heartbleed?)<p>Where open source does benefit is a more timely and fair fix to a reported security bug. A company&#x27;s closed source implementation may not be in as much of a hurry to fix security bugs if there isn&#x27;t an immediate effect on the bottom line<p>Also, how&#x27;s open source supposed to minimize fragmentation? Desktop Linux has a hundred flavors and even with a standardized ABI, there&#x27;s no guarantees on a single binary working seamlessly across distros ( which is the reason for this like flatpack to exist)

How on earth is adding new features to the architecture in updates seen as fragmentation? Is everyone supposed to stick with v8.0? Moron.
