Should OS makers, like Microsoft, be legally required to provide 15 years of security updates?

    Pretty sure postmarketOS isn’t made by a multi-billion dollar corporation. Such a requirement would mean ONLY multi-billion dollar corporations can release an operating system. You do not want to give them that power.

      If it’s free software, then anyone can implement the fixes themselves.

      Doing so with proprietary software would be illegal.
