From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wasn't talking about OEMs - and companies who do somewhat care about vulnerabilities already have policies in place only allowing specific device vendors and specific OS versions. There might be a tiny bit more once that gets hooked into some automation, but probably pretty much negligible. If you have a 5 year old device and your vendor isn't patching it anymore getting rid of it is the right choice, with or without looking at specific vulnerabilities.
