According to the paper [5], windows is the most user friendly and has more hardware compatibility. In terms of security, Linux is the most secure among all OS given that it is an open- source operating system which gives users the ability to customize and implement security patches. As for memory management, macOS is the better option due to its fully integrated virtual memory system which is often on and continuously provides addressable space up to 4 per process. The virtual memory system allocates extra space for swap files on the root file system as a program uses space.
All available OS offer some level of security features such as firewalls, antivirus software, and encryption [6]. macOS has a level of security due to its unique operating system designed specifically for Apple devices with no third-party developers involved. Linux, being open source, is often regarded as more secure than Windows, which is a target of many malware attacks [7].

Imagine trusting folks to keep their stuff up-to-date, though. People get very hostile at the mere suggestion that they need to update when “everything works fine right now, why should I?”
When people say that (usually older folks that are used to something) they usually mean the UI. I wish there was a vendor that would keep their UI constant while patching just security and bugs.
It wouldn’t be such an issue if each OS didn’t have several design languages side by side.
Windows has 10 different design languages all still there in the OS. It should have stuck with MetroUI and finished updating everything to it, Fluent is an eyesore in my opinion.
MacOS can’t keep things consistent to save itself.
And Linux has KDE/Breeze and Gnome/Adwaita in their niches, with the older Windows 95 imitations still around.
Android is probably the least worst. Material and Material U.
I don’t think this is of interest, this is an article in a student journal, written by one person which seems to be a student too. The quote is weak and cherry-picked.
A quote from the same paper:
Security measures in Linux are slim to none as it is a free OS to download.
To quote from a paper on the topic of OS security:

This is entirely dependend on what you’re used to I think, because I used to think this too but now I can’t do anything with windows anymore.
I thought MacOS being the most user friendly was its only claim to fame.
Shoving basic settings under “accessibility” is not intuitive in the slightest.
Basically. Using windows after spending a decade plus with Gnome and macOS is cumbersome.
Wow, 4 whole memories per process?!

The quote is not about installing security patches but implementing them. Terrible paper.
