The purpose of an Operating System is to support and enhance your computing experience. New Linux distros tend to contain new Kernels and/or security releases. Microsoft has an auto update, Most linux distros do not. The 6 month update relates to many things for many reasons, monetary may be one of them, but so is security, and other things.
