This is not about using linux on airplanes. It’s about running safety-critical airplane functions on linux. Many of the presented criticisms make sense. They matter in a situation where a failure means people die.

As much as I use and love this OS, I don’t feel the need to push it into every conceivable application. It’s not the best fit for everything, and it doesn’t have to be.

Regardless, perhaps critiques like this one can help inspire further improvements in linux.
