Linux Alternative General

...

Updates can introduce unknown vulnerabilities, sure, but you can check and see they fix known ones.
Everyone, from the CIA to the latest script kiddie that never opened visual studio, can exploit known vulnerabilities, and that is why fixing them is so important.
That's updating too.

You'll rarely have to worry though, vulnerabilites are always hyped up to death these days, even when their small ones that don't mean shit.

You clearly don't understand what a update a is if you think this. Adding features makes software less secure, but you don't have to have all the features of the linux kernel, you can compile a minimal subset and many do. There are also security features which are added such as selinux. Most importantly updates fix bugs and security holes in existing code if you don't update you expose yourself to script kiddies, and anyone equivalent or greater in capabilities. What you want is as few non-security features as possible (some even say features in general) and as secure (up to date) remainder as possible.

Explain to me how that disproves me in any way.

I run openbsd. I'm not defending the CoC I'm saying your solution is retarded. Your solution rather than switching your OS to a something better is to use the same software riddled with bugs and exploits because of a fear that code quality is going to get worse. If you care that much about code quality switch to something better you autist, don't just sit on your ass and irrationally think you're better off because you've got half a million CVEs exploits possible on your machine but atleast the devs who made it were somewhat competent.

If linux requires updates that often than it only means it was shit to begin with.
Vuls don't just suddenly apear and make things less secure.
If suddenly one is found it just means it was shit the whole time and faggots never knew about it.
Your not more secure just because you update because updates also introduce the same possibilites for vuls

The solution is clear, disable everything that is not needed, hang back on a long term kernel.
And don't fucking update past kernel 4.18
Fuck is so hard to understand about this?
Most fags are still running kernel 4.9 for fuck sake, some even lower!
Rolling fags don't understand that shit doesn't need to be latest to be secure.
Just as pointed out before aswell, most vulnerabilites once found are normally hyped to shit and a patch is applied quickly, ALL YOU NEED IN THAT CASE IS THE PATCH, NOTHING ELSE!
You don't even need to learn code to understand this shit, just look at the commit list, it'll the most obviously labeled one.
Back porting patches is even more secure than updating the kernel, cause you don't get the new vuls being made by sjws who can't code for shit.

SO WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO LINUX!? I HEARD THE SJWs TOOK IT OVER AND CRASHED THE FUCKING CODE!!
