Wow, 2015. Back when they had to hire actual humans to write bullshit like that.

Not a flaw.
For example, look at the biggest name in desktop Linux: Ubuntu. They release a new version every six months where each version is named after the year and month of release (e.g. 14.10, 15.04, 15.10, etc). Contrast that with Windows (every 3-5 years) and OS X (every 1-2 years).

The disparity between the proportion of iMac sales vs the people who could afford an iMac is rather enormous, but I have this idea that for iPhones and Androids, this is reversed.
I find that conundrum, assuming it’s true, kinda interesting.
I think that 5 flaws are actually the 5 advantages of linux. Aren’t they?
