Linux devs beat big companies at fixing security bugs

Linux developers faster at fixing security bugs than Microsoft and Apple

Linux developers take less time to patch security vulnerabilities than the teams at large software companies — including Microsoft, Apple, and Google.

That is according to Google's Project Zero, a research initiative that reports security vulnerabilities to the largest software vendors and assesses their performance in addressing them based on a 90-day deadline.

Linux FTW!
That's of the nice things about Linux, it's open-source, anybody can contribute to the kernel, bringing new drivers, fixing bugs and maintain the kernel.

Lies!

Linux and OSX doesn't have security vulnerabilities.
