Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities

Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities
Someone tries to dunk on Linux by saying it "never succeeded," and the comeback is absolutely nuclear. Linux literally runs on everything —from supercomputers and servers to Android phones, smart fridges, and yes, apparently the microcontroller in your mom's personal massager. The irony? Linux is probably the most successful OS kernel in human history by deployment count. It's running the internet, your router, your TV, and now... well, intimate devices. The "never succeeded" take aged like milk in the Sahara. Turns out when you're embedded in billions of devices worldwide, you've succeeded pretty hard.

The "write once, run anywhere" crowd just got absolutely demolished. Sure, Java's cross-platform compatibility is technically impressive, but that's like being proud your code runs equally mediocre everywhere. The JVM being on Windows, Linux, and macOS doesn't make Java good —it just means everyone gets to suffer equally. Here's the thing: cross-platform compatibility is a feature, not a personality trait. JavaScript runs everywhere too, and we're not exactly throwing parades about it. The analogy here is brutally effective because it exposes the logical fallacy—universal compatibility doesn't equal quality. It just means you've achieved the bare minimum of not being platform-locked. Java developers will defend their language with religious fervor, but deep down they know they're just Stockholm syndrome victims of enterprise codebases written in 2003 that nobody dares to refactor.
