Arch Linux user be like
They like it
Fedora isn’t any better. 10-40 Packages every day.
Windows 10 users, I’ve been using kill-update.exe for years now to only update Windows when I damn well want to.
Disclaimer: before the inevitable dogpile, yes, this is bad practice. Yes there are many reasons why you might not want to do this. Yes, allowing your software to update itself whenever it wants is safer. No, I don’t care. If you don’t care either, this software might be for you.
Totally justifiable IMO. In my day-to-day life its much more important that my shit works when I need it to than that I get whatever potentially something-breaking latest hotfix patch for everything on my system. Put simply: My OS, and the packages I use, work. If I don’t update, I’m sure it will also keep working. When I have time for an update to break something, or want to pull in some new feature or patch, I’ll run an update.
I don’t know WHAT you’re talking about! My windows xp pc hasn’t had an update in YEARS!!!
I never had a negative experience with Windows Updates
It just puts a notification in my taskbar but can be easily dismissable
NixOS lets you update just what you want, when you want, and it even lets you roll them back at any time.
I update every single day AND my computer always works.
My view has always been that: “The most popular OS in the works will always need security updates frequently”. That’s true of Linux as well, if it ever broke Windows’ numbers.
That said, Windows has also fucked that argument by forcing unnecessary search additions and browser defaults in those updates.
You can just make that unnecessary Windows additions. No one asked Microsoft to force copilot or recall or ads or… On to our systems.
Enlightened linux users right now
Windows really do be like that
