From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there any merit to the claim OBS is using an end-of-life (EOL) runtime and that this is a very bad thing for security?
It's important to acknowledge that nothing is completely secure.
I didn't know this was an issue for OBS because I'm not experiencing any problems nor am I seeing anyone else.
I think you might find this comment by one of the OBS upstream devs interesting:

thanks!
Ugh, I'm glad people are willing to fight back against these kinds of assertions.
Regardless of who is right, facilitating and encouraging this kind of discourse is how we end up with better software for everyone.
