It's not the same as Ubuntu Linux from 2018.

On Ubuntu both the OS and software packages are frozen in time and fixes are backported from newer versions.

It's not the same at all as what Microsoft does. In fact Windows is de facto a rolling OS, a phenomenon which also exists in the Linux world but is much less popular there. A rolling OS user would not have the problem in the article.
