Reply to comment by IronCraftMan in ELI5: Why are computers more vulnerable to hackers than phones? by TeaTime7079

Ios is based on mac os, which is linux bsd operation system.

Linux F1 exploit was around at least 20 years, but was discovered around 5 years ago

Lunux is more localized not in terms of supporting less, but in terms of access. Eg on windows application is spread to many different places, which has different access levels

Have you seen phone which supports floppy disk? There are so many more protocols which computers support. Especially on system level.

Linux and BSD are different operating systems. They both took inspiration from UNIX hence the similarities.

Yet every year they pass test that bsd is still a linux

They can at most test if it's still UNIX-like. In fact the two diverged as early as what version of UNIX they were based on. BSD -> Berkeley Software Distribution. Linux was modeled after AT&T's UNIX.
